Run 644 and 645

 Run 644

There were five starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this week. Thanks very much to Colin for coming along to assist with the time-keeping duties. Everybody ran off scratch and the handicaps were added on afterwards.

Jozica was the first person home this week in a well timed run. She managed to beat out Nada who ran very well into second place. Monica was third person over the line with Jon and Atsuko rounding out the field this week.

Nobody managed a Personal Best time this week, but Nada was within 15 seconds of her PB.

Run 645

It was fabulous to see 10 people show up for the run this week, and Colin came along again to do the time-keeping for the group. With 10 people we decided to have a random number draw to win a pair of socks. The random number to come up was 9, so the ninth runner in the list for this week will receive the prize: congratulations to Monica.

It was great to see Jacinta back running 2 km with the group this week. In the longer (handicapped) distances Alex was the first person over the line this week, managing to come in seconds before Paul. Atsuko was only just behind in third place. Nada continued to run strong, coming in fourth place this week, only one second ahead of Jozica. Jon took out sixth place with Tony in seventh. Renee was the eighth person home, leaving Monica as the last person over the line.

There was one personal best time this week as Alex took a massive 44 seconds off his previous 3 km run time. What a great improvement. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week there will be a market on Saturday morning, so the run will again be on Sunday 3 December with the timer starting at 7:30.

We are hoping to have "Christmas catch up/breakfast" on Sunday 17 December after our run (there will be another market on Saturday 16 December). The plan is to go to River View Cafe for breakfast following the run.
