Run 244

It was a beautiful morning for a run or walk and we saw most of our "regulars" out for this morning's run, along with Margaret returning for a 2km walk and Trudy joined us from Warrnambool for a 5km run.

The good weather seems to have spurred the women on as Jozica and Atsujo both broke, coming in before the 30 minute mark and Trudy managed to take out a win in her first run.

A couple of Personal Best times were recorded this morning:

Atsuko: 1 second
Jozica: 39 seconds

There was lots of interest from our Facebook page, but it didn't convert into new members this morning. Maybe we will see some new people join us early in 2015.

New walkers and runners are welcome at any stage in the season.

Next run is on Saturday 4 January at 7:00am. Look forward to seeing lots of people there.

Run 243

It was a very small turnout for the end-of-season mass start with only three runners:Jozica, Jon and yours truly. The "officials" almost outnumbered the runners with Atsuko and Steve along to help out with the time keeping.

As it was the final run, I don't want to give away too much about the placings until the presentation day in a few week's time. I won't update the results until after the presentations - even though I think we all know who won this season!

I will, however, let you know that Jozica ran a PB. Beating her previous best by 23 seconds! Great running, Joz.

Next season starts on Saturday next week! Everyone is welcome to come down and run or walk off some of those Christmas kilos.

Wishing you all and your families a very Merry Christmas from Warrandyte River Runners.

Next run on Saturday 28 December at 7:00am.

New runners and walkers always welcome.

Regards,

Run 242

It was a lovely morning for a run, and with fewer starters there were easy points up for grabs. It turned out to be a close finish to the event with most of the runners coming in within 30 seconds of each other. Congratulations to Jozica who held off Steve to come in first.

It was Jodi and Rob's last run with the group before moving off to Queensland next week. We all wish them all the best in their new venture and we know that they will be missed!

There were no PBs today and no-one was within 15 seconds.

Next week is another market weekend in Warrandyte and is the final run for season 15 so we look forward to seeing anyone who can come down to run or walk for a mass start at 7:30am on Sunday 21 December. 

Regards,

Run 241

It was a wet morning, but that didn't stop quite a few people coming out for the run. The rain may have slowed everyone down a bit, though with no PBs and no-one within 15 seconds.

Jon ran well for another win, followed in by Atsuko.

I have taken over "control" of the blog site today, so things may look a bit different as I get used to what I am supposed to be doing and how it all works.

The next run is Saturday 13 December 2014 at 7:00am.

Run 240

A slightly smaller crowd with a tie for first place. Well done to Nada and Steve who were closely followed by Jozica.

I am just glad that I start early so people aren't waiting for me.

The next run is Sunday 7 December 2014 at 7:30am.

The market is on Saturday, so don't forget to look for your Xmas pressies or just stock up on your food items for the week.
