253 finishers in all with a good turnout for this race from the club, with a lot of the race being off road it tempted Geof and Allan from their weekend fell run. Pete is still working hard to get near to the 6 minute mile region and continued improvement from Derek after his marathon success and hard training which brought another Personal best . Fantastic long sprint finish in from Liz on the playing field home lap overtaking several runners as she pushed it all the way to the line.
Great effort everyone.

Blackpool Half Marathon
This is a report from Dave Pearson's cousin, who did the Blackpool Half Marathon on Sunday the 27th.
All I can say is Thank God David had a knee injury. If I had had to go round that course completely unattended I would have started walking somewhere after 10 miles. I was so pleased see the 11th mile and know that that was further than I had ever run in my life. So much for smoking for nearly forty years. The weather was perfect, the going was good for the first 9 miles. It was familiar ground after doing the 10k fun run 2 years running - the 2mile loop we began with plus the fun run basically - the Hilton hotel to starr gate and back. But somewhere soon afterwards camethe cliff tops -undulating cliff tops at that. Lets face it I am a pensioner. I have left this running bit a bit late. If only I had eaten a bit less and trained abit more in the last two months since I decided to attempt this thought I. Nevertheless there were 'overweight' (we won't use the word obese, its so vulgar) people in the race as i happily noted while we were waiting for the 'off'. Thanks to cousin David's refusal to condone walking for more than a microsecond while I had a drink I pushed on. He even picked out one or two runners ahead of us who were struggling even more than I so that we could set our sights on ovetaking them - a very satisfying action after 11 miles - and finally while my legs were feeling like jelly - no aching thighs for me- he somehow got me to the finishing line. It was fabulous. Not having given up. Only 3 minutes more than the time he had hoped for, and 27 minute less than the time I had estimated for the event! A medal, a teashirt, a goodies bag and a time I could be proud of - what more could I want. Just to keep up the training and try to repeat the performance - possibly loosing a stone and minute per mile - in my dreams. Its hard to believe I really did it. thankyou david. Here's to your knee!I ommitted to say in was thoroughly enjoyable.

Thanks to Sheila, the Pollard clan, Chris Smith and Liz Hopley for acting as marshalls, without whom the event could not take place.
John Hope (1st non-member) Stew Jones and Carolyn Brindle took the prizes.
This is an annual event and hopefully more members will join in the fun in the future.

I would like to thank all who took part in the trail race on such a great night weatherwise, also thanks to Sheila and Keith (with a pot leg) for marshalling for me and Dave Pearson for his moral support.
A course is to be organised to train members in observation and route recognition to thus enabling them to complete the race next year.
Thanks also to those members who sent their apologies.
All who did the race enjoyed it, and it could only be improved by more members taking part.
