Today was the groups 300th run and it was great to have 11 people running this morning and we welcomed three new runners: Leanne, Ayden and Lucas. We hope to see you running regularly with us on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Jacinta took out the line honours this morning over the 3 km distance and continues her great running. She was closely followed over the line by Atsuko. After a time adjustment for his first run, Lucas ended up in third position just narrowly beating Nada home. There was a group of three who were all coming home strong, but Tessa managed to beat home Peter and Paul. Jozica and Niels were not too far behind.
Over the 2 km course, Ed continues to run very well and was joined today by Leanne and Ayden who did a combination run/walk for this distance.
There were no Personal Best times recorded by people not on their first run today.
Two people were within 15 seconds of their PB: congratulations to Ed and Jacinta.
Congratulation to Atsuko on her 100th run today, and to Paul for his 150th.
New runners or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.
Next week the run will be on SUNDAY 7 February at 7:30am. Some of the group will be heading for a coffee at Warrandyte Cafe after the Sunday run.
We are hoping to present the trophies for last season at the end of next week's run.

Run 298 and 299
I have been away and unable to update the blog for a little bit, but the results for the last two weeks have finally been run through the program and the results are:
Run 298
Seven runners competed over 3 and 5 km distances today, with Nada coming in first over the line, and the only runner under 31 minutes (including handicap). Lisa ran well to come in next closely followed by Jacinta and Atsuko. Steve and Peter came in very close together and Jon rounded out the runners for the day.
There were no Personal Best times recorded, but Lisa was within 15 seconds of her PB.
Run 299
With only 5 runners on the weekend there were some easy points up for grabs.
After adjusting times for handicaps as we ran off scratch, the winner was Jacinta running the 3 km course. Steve was next in, with Ed only 10 seconds behind. Paul and Nada rounded out the field for today.
There were no Personal Best times recorded again, but Jacinta was within 15 seconds of her PB.
Our next run will be run number 300! A great milestone for the group which has been running for about 6 years now.
Run 300 will be on Saturday 30 January at 7:00 am.
