Run 729
It was a chilly morning for our weekly run along the banks of the Birrarung/Yarra through Warrandyte, with just three starters this week. A big thank you to Nada, who continues to run early so she can take on the timekeeping duties most weeks.
With only three participants and Nada having already completed her run, we decided not to start based on handicap times. Instead, these were added afterward. This saw Paul take out the win—just one second ahead of Jon—with Nada finishing in third place.
No one managed a personal best this week, and no one finished within 15 seconds of their PB.
Run 730
The rain held off for this week's run, although the riverside track remained damp. Six runners took part in our Warrandyte circuit. Thanks again to Nada for running early and managing the timekeeping.
Paul was first across the line again this week, followed closely by James—just six seconds behind. Sandi ran well into third, just ahead of Dave in fourth. Atsuko and Nada rounded out the field, finishing just eight seconds apart.
As with last week, no one achieved a personal best, and no one finished within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next Week’s Run
The next run will be held on Saturday, 23 August, with the timer starting at 7:30 am.
New runners and walkers are welcome to join at any stage during the season!
Thunderball Gala – Tonight!
The “Thunderball” Gala Ball is on tonight (16 August), raising funds for the Manningham SES. Two of our regular runners, Sandi and Margaret, have played a major role on the organising committee, and we wish them every success for the event.
The evening will feature a silent auction, which is also available online. There are many great items up for grabs, including vouchers for Olivigna, Ember, and Beasley’s Nursery, and wine packs from Kellybrook.
