Rob - If a minimum of 20 members (selected from those that have run at either June or July) say that they would prefer the August event to be on Mon 6 Sept and they will be definitely turning up for it on that day if it is moved, that to me would sound as if it suited the majority. If you want to co-ordinate such a "petition" and declare the result, it's fine by me. Please note that I can't do Mon 23 Aug.

Could the August handicap be delayed a week (or bought forward a week) as it is a BH weekend?

As you all know, this social run is from Hail Weston. The route is suitable for children/adults in bicycles as most of it is off road (about a mile on very minor/minor road)The tracks are very dry at the moment and the ride may be bumpy and there are some 'ondulations'along the way, so some bike proficiency is required.
Look forward to seeing you all there, the more people we have the better!

Results for the July Handicap have been published in the Document Library. Well done to the 32 finishers and many thanks to tonights helpers Catherine, Vicky, Pam and Kenny.

I'll calculate the points and update the rolling results sheets in the next few days. Next month's Handicap will be on Monday 30 August (Bank Holiday Monday in old speak).

Many thanks for the comments here and by email about my European Masters Marathon. I am well pleased with the time despite it being 31 mins off my pb. Most people said their times were 30-35mins behind what they had hoped for in normal temperatures on this course. All the male winners times were 35 mins slower than the European Records and the women's were around one hour behind. Temp when we started at 08.00hrs was 28C and rose for the next two hours.

Hazel and Kurt will be most welcome and I will add them to the start list and publish a new one with their times within half an hour (in Document Library). I will also create their "tags" and have them there this evening at the start. Any other members welcome to join in but do please let me know before 15.00hrs.

Course details and requirements are on the website in the document library. Remember you need to know the course because we don't marshall each and every turning point.

To add to the 800/1500 Andrew also took part in the relays where he helped the v35 team to a silver in the 4 * 100m relay and finally a gold in the 4 * 400m relay.

Well done

Just a quick note to flag up the Doug Anderson 5k which takes place in Bedford Park on Wednesday evening (28 July 7.30pm start). It's a fast course but wasn't on the calendar so I have just added it. Entries on the night - see www.bedfordharriers.co.uk/

Marathon runner (European Masters Champs) - MAURICE HEMINGWAY (M55) was 3rd GB athlete home (16th overall in the age group) with a time of 3hrs 53mins 18sec – GB finishing 4th in the team competition. The outstanding performance by Andy Moraghan (M35) with Silver in the 800m and Bronze in the 1500m helped the GB Masters team to second place on the medals table behind Germany.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Al! And well done on your win too!

I enjoyed it as did baby Miles :)

Nice to get my club vest back on again - even if I did crawl along like a snail.

Hope to see some more of you again soon x

Just heard that Andrew was pipped on the line into 2nd place in the 800m at the European Masters in Hungary. The time for Ist place was 1.57 91 and Andrew was second with 1.58 27. Well done Andrew.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, race was set up by the Muddy Mucky Monkeys (5 lads that work at the British Antarctic Survey team Cambridge including, Ely’s Alex Tate); 5km mixed terrain race with half a pint of local ale in exchange for your race number at the end. Shame they ran out of chips, there was also a 1mile fun run – one for next year?.
