A very cold 2C greeted this evenings runners but at least it was dry!! Mike wasn’t here this evening, no doubt practicing in preparation for next weeks handicap challenge!! This gave Nick a chance to come first, and he was certainly out the blocks quick. This was his final run as a 40 something and he did awesome, finishing 2m 23s ahead of last weeks time and averaging less than 8mins per mile, well done Nick and Happy Birthday for tomorrow!
Last week we were very impressed that Sat Nav completed the route without any detours, what we didn’t realise at the time was that he got lost driving home!!! So this week he brought his Tom Tom. Tom had a great run, he has just entered the Stubbington 10k in January, which will be his first ever event and he certainly worked hard this evening in preparation. He finished the 5.6mile route in 9m 35s one of his fastest runs! Sat Nav and Mags have also entered the 10k and they too had a great run finishing just outside the 10mins per mile average.
It was a massive welcome back to Annie this evening. She had graduated from the Warsash running club to the Stubbington Runners and has been performing very well! It was great to see her back for her first run since March 2012. She is much quicker too. Even though she managed to add on a little detour at the end she completed 5.2miles in under 9mins per mile average, that is over 40 seconds per mile quicker than the last run she did with us! Well done Annie! Jo was back following her leg strain and she, unfortunately, followed Annie on the slight detour around Thornton Avenue. The extra half a mile didn’t seem to matter though as she finished with an average under 9 mins per mile and hopefully a good leg!
Also running this evening was Sharon and Carl, they had a sprint finish at the end with just 1 second between them. The sprint finish certainly helped Carl as he achieved another PB, his 4th in a row. This time he took off 20seconds per mile, Awesome and well done to Sharon for motivating him at the end!!
Sandy was also back this evening and crossed the finish line with Charles. This completed a great evenings running with Sandy, Charles, Maggie, Sat Nav, Jo and Annie all finishing within 30 seconds of each other! Well done all runners, next week we are revisiting the handicap hurdles!!!
