Palma, Amsterdam, Burton Bradstock

Palma Full and Half
For the third year running we went to Palma for their running festival, this year had Paul Allen, Pete Jakeman, Fez Parker and I doing the Marathon and  Louise and Oily the Half.

Sunday was the hottest day for this run in years and although the Half and Full that do the same first loop was Ok to the turnaround point the heat was turned up on the way back and the second lap. Oily managed a PB in the half and had a great run, Louise was our first Lady and both enjoyed the free sunrtan. 

Pete moved at the last minute 

Jane Allen , Rob & Daphne Barfoot were our support team and did a great job. Paul Allen managed a 3:08 in that heat so great running. After the Race we hit the Marina Bar and still a bit if heat stroke two beers each kept turning up.

The evening meal was a Hindu restaurant but Jane was not to happy with the bread so threw it at me with the waiter looking a bit shocked as he was just trying to fill my Red up.

All in all a great weekend and with a 10k as well there is something for all and great weather as well. Give it a go next year. The full results can be seen here.

Burton Bradstock Festival 

A few of us went to Burton Bradstock for the 5k, 10K, half and full marathons. Despite pouring with rain before leaving the sun shone! The half and full route had some great views and pretty villages to run through. Not sure I'd call it 'flattish'. Well done all. — with Chris Woodman, Luke Hicks, Mike Kendrick, Lynne Thumpston, Kay Wilson White,Lesley Nesbitt and Catherine Thompson Hansford. The full results can be seen here.

Marks Pub Run

KINGSBURY EPISCOPI PUB RUN

This time we went Stockditch road and southay to East Lambrook. Then straight along the road to New Cross and West Lambrook. On the left were tall poplar trees, probably planted to block the wind. There were a lot of large tractors out tonight, some not hanging around. We took West lane to Burrow and onto Stembridge. We then cut across to go back the way we came in. One of the road direction signs was wearing a batman hat, must be the time of year. The run tonight was led by Phil.

Sometimes running in the cold and dark makes me feel like this:

Notices

Good evening all. This year for Remembrance day, 13th November i have organised a wreath to lay on behalf of YTRRC. As part of this i am looking for some volunteers from the Club to take part in the poppy appeal collection, properly in a supermarket/shop entrance on Saturday 5th and Saturday 12th November. Also the club runs on remembrance morning are planning to finish at the borough in time for the parade. If you can help with the collection in any way even just for a few hours, children welcome, please let me know. Thank you. Katie.


I plan to be at the Club Run on Tuesday evening so please can you bring your money along ... I hope to get the numbers/menu choice to the Haselbury Mill before I go on holiday at the end of October.
