Run 28

Congratulations, Sam! Sam was first across the line today after the 30 minute mark and secured 18 points. Great run.

Cooper is up for a major handicap adjustment after a massive break today. He's just too quick.

Welcome to our new runners - it's always great to see some new faces - I hope you enjoyed yourselves on our very picturesque river track.

And it's also always great to have our walkers come along, enjoying the surroundings and supporting their family. It's a great way to start the weekend.

We saw heaps of PB's today so I thought it was worth listing them....

Cooper - 5:04 mins - outstanding!
Lisa - 1:22 mins
Meghann - 19 secs
Cath - 13 secs
Rob - 11 secs
Anthony - 6 secs
Daniel - 3 secs
Owen - 2 secs

Next week is market weekend so we will be running Sunday 8th August at 8:00am. Remember the later start time!

I hope you can make it and I'll see you down by the hut.

This weeks winner of the socks: Owen. What is it with number 5?

Run 27

Congratulations Owen! Owen has secured yet another 20 points by crossing the line first after the 30 minute mark with a personal best time. But he has now done his 10 runs and only your best 10 runs count. He can still be caught!

A big welcome to our new runners. You will now have a handicap for your next run! You will be surprised at how quickly your times improve.

There are 5 runs left in the season so there is still time to secure more points.

Next week's run will be Saturday 31st July at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

This weeks winner of the socks: Anthony.

Run 26

Congratulations Nicole! This morning was Nicole's turn to take out a win. She picked up 18 points with a fantastic race to the finish with Bianca hot on her heels. This has moved her up 11 places in the consistency table, neck and neck with Bianca. Well done!

There are only 6 runs left in this season. Remember that only your best 10 runs count towards your consistency total. So if you haven't reached your 10 runs yet for this season, get back into the competition by getting some more runs in.

We wish a speedy race to all those participating in the Run Melbourne event this weekend. And also wish Larry all the best and hope he makes a speedy recovery from a recent injury.

Next week's run is on Saturday 24th July at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

This weeks socks winner - me!

Run 25

Congratulations, Anthony! This week saw Anthony take out the maximum (20) points by crossing the line first after the 30 minute mark with a personal best time. Well done!

No breakers this week and pb's were run by our top 3 place getters - the wind obviously didn't have a negative effect on their runs.

Welcome to 3 new runners today - 2 from interstate and 1 of the 4-legged variety.

A big thank you to Peter for doing the timekeeping again today while he is injured - much appreciated.

Also, I thought it was worth mentioning the very dedicated Churchward family who make the effort to come out each week and go for a walk while Dad runs, and wins.

I hope to see you all next Saturday, 17th July, at 7:30am, down by the hut.

Have a good week. Jodi

This week's socks winner - Meghann

Run 24

Congratulations to Reuben! This week saw Reuben cross the line 4th overall but with 3 breakers he secured maximum points (20) by being the 1st to cross after the 30 minute mark with a new PB. Well done!

Owen has his work cut out for him to maintain top position. He has a lead of 22 points but that can easily be taken away.

A big thank you to Peter for helping out with the time keeping and I hope you're back to match fit ready for next week's run on Saturday, 10th July at 7:30am.

Remember, all runners of any age or ability are welcome, and you can even bring your dog!

For those of you we haven't seen in a while, maybe it's time to get back into the weekly running habit. For $1 a week you can burn off those winter warmer foods (well, some of them) that we all like to indulge in over these colder months.

So I'll see you next week down by the hut!

Weekly socks winner: Anne-Marie (again!)
