Run 287

Saturday was a lovely morning and saw 12 starters for the run.

It was great to see Ed back for another run at the 2km distance, and he was joined by Atsuko in her first 2km run (with Amy) and Harrison.

Peter was again the first person over the finish line after the 30 minute mark, giving him his fourth win for the season so far (out of 8 runs). Nada and Paul were close behind with Jacinta and Lisa on their heels. Jozica was also only about 30 seconds behind Peter.

Tessa, Jon and Dennis rounded out the placings for the longer distances.

There were no personal best times and no-one was within 15 seconds of their personal best this week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 31 October at 7:00 am.

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

Run 286

It was great to see 13 starters for the run on Saturday, and we welcomed another new runner, Ed, who ran the 2km course.

Lisa was racing through the course and came in well before the 30 minute mark, so missed out on maximum points. The first runner over the line after 30 minutes was Jacinta who was closely followed by four guys: Andrew was one second ahead of Dennis and Paul, with Peter N only two seconds further back.

Peter was next, not too far behind the main pack, and then Atsuko and Jon also had a sprint finish with Atsuko taking the line honours by one second. Steve, Tessa and Alicia rounded out today's field.

There were two Personal Best times recorded:
Lisa slammed her previous PB, and
Peter N.

No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 24 October at 7:00 am.

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

The socks this week went to Andrew.

Run 285

It was perfect conditions for running this morning and we had 13 starters for the run.

Pete, Tessa, Emma and Caitlin took on the 4km course, Barbara walked 2km and the other eight ran the 5km course.

Jacinta had a great run, but unfortunately came in just before the magical 30 minute mark and is therefore classed as a break for this this week. Peter had a beautifully time run crossing the line at 30:01 and taking out this week's run in a personal best time, therefore earning himself the maximum points.

Lisa, Atsuko and Nada all finished within the next 30 seconds. Monica and Jozica crossed the line together just behind them. Emma and Caitlin also finished in under 31 minutes. Paul, Tessa, Stephanie and Bec finished a bit further back.

There were 4 Personal best times today:
Peter by 29 seconds,
Emma by 7 seconds,
Lisa by 58 seconds, and
Jacinta by 1 minute and 5 seconds. Great running guys!

Atsuko was also within 15 seconds of her PB.

Next week's run will be at 7:00 am on Saturday 17 October.

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

Runs 283 and 284

Over the school holidays there were two runs.

Run 283 saw seven runners start off, and Kaje came in well under the 30 minute mark. 3 new runners also joined us: welcome to Josh, Peter N ad Sam M.

Michelle ran the shorter 3 km course and Monica and Peter both ran well.

PBs were run by Kaje and Peter.

Run 284 also saw seven runners start with one new runner: welcome to Daniel.

No PBs were recorded this week.

After the survey, it looks like the vast majority want to run on Saturday morning at 7:00 each week and 7:30 on a Sunday when the market is on.

That means the run will be on Saturday 10 October at 7:00am. We hope to see you down by the lizard to start.

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