Run 641

It was a beautiful morning for the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra. There were five starters in the run this morning and we thank Colin for coming along to do the time-keeping duties this week.

It was a very close run this morning with the first five runners coming in within 22 seconds of each other. Jozica was the first runner over the line this week in her second win of the season. Atsuko was only four seconds behind her in second place. Paul managed to take out third position ahead of Jon. And Harrison was the final runner over the line today.

Nobody managed to run a Personal Best time this week and no one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 5 November starting at 7:30 am. 

This is the Melbourne Cup "long" weekend and the market will be on Saturday.

New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 640

It was a much warmer start to the day for the weekly run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte today. Thanks once again to Nada for running early and then doing the time-keeping duties. It was great to see Monica back after a break from running with us.

Monica took on the 3 km distance this morning and managed to be the first person over the line once the handicaps were added onto the run times. She did manage to run too quickly today based on her previous 3 km times and came in before the 30 minute mark. That left the win open and it was a race between Nada and Paul for the big points for first place this week. Nada managed to just beat Paul in by two seconds, giving her the win and Paul second place. Jozica continues to run consistently and managed third place today.

Monica was the only person to beat their previous personal best time this week, taking a huge 42 seconds off her previous PB. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 28 October with the timer beginning at 7:30am.

Run 639

The weather was great for the run along the banks of the river in Warrandyte this morning even if there were a few puddles to be avoided along the way. There were eight starters in the run this morning and it was great to see Renee back after a bit of a break from the group. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties once more this week.

This week saw Nada come in first over the line once her handicap had been added onto her run time, and she managed to beat Paul by four seconds. Dave was only about 20 seconds behind in third place and just ahead of Atsuko. Tony came in fifth this morning, with Renee in sixth position. James and Jozica were the last runners over the line today.

Nobody managed a personal best time this morning and no-one was within 15 second of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 21 October with the timer being set off at 7:30 am.

Warrandyte River Runners Run 638

It was great to see seven people in the weekly run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this morning even though the weather had taken a turn and become colder. We had to run along the top path and through the car park as the river had risen over our regular running track this week. Thanks very much to Nada who continues to run early and then do the time-keeping duties for the group.

This week saw Paul take out first place ahead of Nada. Jon finished in third place only seconds ahead of Dave after the handicaps had been applied. Tony managed fifth place, and Atsuko and Jozica rounded out the field this week.

Nobody managed to run a personal best time and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 14 October with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

Run 637

It has been a few weeks since I have managed to update the blog site and details. The results of runs 634-636 can be found in the link below.

This week saw five starters in the run along the banks of the Yarra-Birrarung in Warrandyte. Thanks once more to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties this week.

Everyone decided to run off scratch this week, and once the handicaps were added back onto the times it was Tony who managed to come away with the win with Nada in second place. Jon was third over the line ahead of Paul and James who were the last to finish this week.

It was a slower run today with nobody managing a personal best time and no-one within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 8 October with the timer starting at 7:30 am. 

We have decided to keep Saturday runs beginning at 7:30 for the moment, instead of going back to 7:00 am as we sometimes do over the Daylight Savings months. If the group decides to change this I will let everyone now.
