 28/7
This evenings Running club was great – weather was perfect and a good turn-out. We all did the longest (5-mile) route and felt very proud of ourselves. Pete and “Sat Nav” ran together and pushed each other well resulting in a personal best average speed for “Sat Nav” – a fantastic 8m 12s per mile

Another lovely evening in sunny Warsash for the run. Another good turn out and some fantastic performances this week. Greg had his fastest run since May and Mike beat the 7mins per mile barrier again!! “Sat Nav” who had his PB on this route last week missed the turn on Fleet End Road and ended up off track (Again!!) but still recorded his 2nd fastest time of the year!
Everyone did the 5 mile run again…

11/8

Mike improved on this course for the 3rd consecutive week, taking 3 seconds off last weeks fantastic result. Pete, who motivated “Sat Nav” to a PB on this route two weeks ago was again the motivator this week, this time aiding Mark (yes Me!) round the 5mile course, after having 2 weeks off running and consuming far to much I needed the motivating!! Alistair was also a tad slower this week after a weekend at a festival and Charles, having celebrated Arsenals success yesterday, found himself also 5 seconds slower! A little moral to this story I feel!!! Maggie was a little slower this week, but we can forgive her as her trainer turned red with blood from her toe not due to alcohol!! ( I hope its OK Mags!). Greg wasn’t able to match lasts weeks fantastic performance but at 9m 36s it was still awesome! Well done team. Next week we start the preparation for the Great South Run. A provisional schedule can be found at – Great South Run Prep 2014
