Some members completed the
March Alex Park 5k.
It was Elleanor's first 5k and she did it in an
incredible 22 minutes. I'm not saying money changed hands but
well done!
It seems like
Summer will never be here. Below are some pictures of a
bitterly cold, dark Wednesday evening...but everyone stuck to
it.
April sadly saw
the last of the races at Alex park. Thanks to Anna and
everyone at Frontrunners who put in the time, money and effort
to organise them.
And well done
done to Ahmed and Gabby who did their first 5K.
Also BIG
well done to all the new runners who entered. It was a cold,
windy, wet morning (it would have to be wouldn't it ,since
I'd decided to put shorts on)
In Fact
Chorlton Runners had a huge turnout. The results can be found
here

It took a while, but eventually the secret of how to unwrap
the plastic macs revealed itself. It only took 6 of us to work
it out!
 
 
That's ma boy! Charlie (7) finished neck and neck with
two

12 year olds. I haven't hear about anything else since......
 
Andrea, left everyone standing (the dash to the finish
with
Dario ready to punch the photographer.
Eleanor was incredible).
 
The girls look far too happy
 
"Check out the bling daddy". Double dutch to me.
I'm getting old!
 
Ahmed signs more
autographs.
This says it all.
This doesn't!
"You mean I've given up a cosy warm bed, a nice cup of
tea and lovely hot breakfast to run in the cold and
rain?"
Well....yea, no contest!
Couldn't resist. Charlie in Darios trainers.
Salford
Glory
Tony and Rob proudly display their no-expenses-spared
momento of the Salford 10K on 14th April. Danny was
there as well, but was too quick for the camera
The
girl did good.....FANTASTIC!!
unfortunately
the queen wasn't in when Sa popped round, so she decided to
carry on running.
What an inspiration to everyone. Sa could just about manage a
slow mile in Feb 05 and now look at her, she's just completed
the London Marathon in under 5 and half hours. Well
done Sa from everyone in the group.
Chorlton
5 mile run
Well
done to everyone who participated in the race on the last
Sunday of April. The course was tough, but everyone completed
it. Also Ann C. was the 3rd woman in her age group!
 
Sarah and Jan looking forward to the
run.
Rob got lost half way through and had to refer to his map.
 
Jerry, Jenny and Debbie looking all
set
Andrea whizzing through 5 miles before going on to do 7 more
for her half marathon training. Wow.
