There were 12 starters for this mornings run, and we welcome Helen and Angela to the list of competitors. Hopefully we will see you down by the river again!
After a few adjustments for handicaps with some people taking off early, it was great to see that first over the line this morning was Harrison who ran the 3 km course and continues to run very well. Nada has been constant all season and managed a second place this morning. Angela, in her first run, was given a handicap time that brought her in for third place overall, just ahead of Tessa and Jozica.
Dennis ran well into sixth place just ahead of new runner, Helen. Steve and Atsuko only ended up 3 seconds apart and Jon was only 6 seconds behind them. Jacinta and Peter were the final runners to cross the line.
There was only one person with a personal best time over their chosen distance this morning:
congratulations to Harrison who has taken another 23 seconds off his PB for the 3 km course. Keep up the good work!
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Because there were more than 10 runners, there was a random number drawn and the 7th runner across the line wins a pair of sicks this week. Congratulations Helen.
Next week the run will be the final run for this season and so will be a mass start - everyone will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday 27 August. Please make sure you are there on time so we can start.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.
Nada is planning on running 50 km next week on Saturday 27 August. She will be starting with her usual 5 km at the river with us, then will keep going to the trail at Beasley's nursery, and continuing on until about Bourke Road. She will then turn back and finish back at Beasley's. A number of people have suggested that they would like to run some part(s) of the way with her, or meet her at the finish line. If you are interested in helping her out on the day, please let us know and we will see how we can help to coordinate people's requests. GOOD LUCK for the run, Nada!!

Run 327
9 runners started out this week on the 3, 4 and 5km courses and there were some great times this week. Thanks ti Steve for running early and doing the timings this week.
After adjustments had been made for handicaps, Harrison was the first over the line this week, but he was well under the magical 30 minute mark and so was considered a break. Jon, too, managed to come in before the 30 minute mark and also broke this week.
That left Jacinta to take out the line honours this week, with Nada only 10 seconds behind her. There was a bit of a gap to the next runners in Tessa and Monica. Dennis and Steve came in within 7 seconds of each other and Atsuko was last over the line.
There were two personal best times recorded this week with Jon beating his previous 4 km best time by 2 minutes and 24 seconds,
and Harrison beating his previous 3 km best time by a whopping 4 minutes 27 seconds.
Nada was the only other person within 15 seconds of their personal best.
Great running to all of you.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 20 August at 7:30 am.

Run 326
There were eight starters for the run this morning, and we welcomed back Monica after a break from running. Four runners took to the 4 km course and four took on the 5 km course.
Nada was first over the line again this week, followed closely by Monica and Jozica. Steve ran well into fourth place. Jacinta came home strongly over the 4 km course and was followed by Atsuko, Paul and Tessa.
No-one ran a personal best time this week for their selected distance, but Monica was within 15 seconds of her PB - well run!
This season will finish at the end of August, so there are only 3 runs left of this season. Remember, only your best 10 runs count towards your points tally for each season.
New walkers and/or runners are welcome at any stage during the season.
The next run will be on Saturday, 13 August at 7:30 am.

Run 325
With only six starters this week, it was another time for some easy points.
The times this week were a little slower than we have seen recently. Harrison was back again and ran with his Mum and Amy (the dog). Since it was his first run at the longer distance, he managed to get a win and maximum points for the week. Nada continues to run well, running in to second place this week.Tessa and Jon finished within ten seconds of each other and Jacinta was not very far behind. Atsuko had the slowest time this week, after her time was adjusted when she started early.
There were no Personal Best times recorded for the week and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.
The run next week will be on SUNDAY 7 August due to the Market being on Saturday. As usual we will run at 7:30 am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any time during the season.
No socks this week as there were not more than ten runners.
