Run 550

It was a humid morning for the run along the banks of the Yarra today with the rain overnight not really bringing down the temperature very much. This morning saw 6 starters in our run and we thank Nada for running early and doing the timekeeping again this week.

In the 2 km distance there was only one competitor, David. In the longer distances, it was Hayden who was first over the line in an almost perfectly timed run, coming in just two seconds after the 30 minute mark. Atsuko ran well into second position ahead of Jozica. Nada managed fourth position today and Paul was the last runner over the line.

There was one personal best time recorded today: Hayden managed to take 28 seconds off his previous PB. No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

There will be no runs for the next two weeks with Christmas and New Year's Day falling on the next two Saturdays. Our next run will be on Saturday 8 January at 7:00 am.

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

It was a lovely morning for the run along the banks of the Yarra and saw eight starters take on the 3, 5 and 6 km distances this morning. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time keeping this week. We welcomed back Renee to the group. Good luck to those runners who are taking on the Melbourne Marathon this weekend.

Nobody took on the 2 km course this morning, and after the handicaps had been allocated it was Hayden who was first over the line after the 30 minute mark. Jozica was in second place ahead of Nada. James was fourth runner in, with Atsuko not far behind him and she was only 2 seconds ahead of Jon. Renee came in seventh, with Paul the last runner over the line today.

No-one managed to run a personal best time today, and there was only one runner who was within 15 seconds of their PB: Well run Hayden.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 19 December at 7:30 am as there will be a Warrandyte Christmas Market on Saturday. This will be the last run of the year as we don't run between Christmas and New Year. The first run of next year is scheduled for Saturday 8 January.

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

Run 548

It was a lovely, crisp morning for the run along the banks of the Yarra today. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the timekeeping duties. We welcomed Adrian to the group today and hope to see him back again in future weeks.

Only Tony took on the 2 km distance this morning. In the longer, handicapped distances, today's run was taken out by Atsuko in a perfectly timed run. Hayden managed to beat Jozica in for second place. Adrian took out fourth place once the handicap system had kicked in. Nada was in fifth place with Paul last over the line today.

There was one personal best time recorded today: well run Hayden. Two other people were within 15 seconds of their PB: Good running Atsuko and Jozica.

Because of the lack of runs in this season due to COVID we have decided to combine this season's runs with next season's.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 11 December at 7:00 am (please note the new time for the Summer season).

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