Well done to those of you who came along this morning and ran either the 4 or 6 miles.
It was certainly loads different from last week, there was a blue sky and although cold it stayed dry!! It was great to see you all running well,and tackling the HILL at the turn -around point.
Next weeks run is an 8 miler, so don't forget to bring a drink and gel with you.
So well done all of you, see you in the week.
P.S Sorry if you end up thinking about doing other events, guess running with me should come with a (mental) health warning!!!!!!!

Saturday was the first of the long runs,and it was great to get started again.
despite the weather which at times was very trying, to say the least,( think torrential rain and hail,) we all finished the 6 miles.
All long runs will be on a Saturday morning,and we are building up for Taunton Half marathon or for some of you Stratford and Bath halves.
Come along if you are interested,even if you don't want to enter an event the longer runs will get your fitness levels up.
Unless the weather takes a turn for the worst see you next Saturday.
Well Done.

Thank you to all the members who turned up ready to run today, it was great to see you all again and to welcome back some of you who have been away abit longer than usual.
Didn't it feel great to be out there again? well I hope you felt it was!!!
The groups should all be back to normal now providing the weather stays kind to us.
As for the LONG RUN we start on Saturday at Dawlish car park 9o'c start.With the option of either a 4 or 6 miler.
looking forward to seeing you either Saturday or next week.

So, am I being optomistic? could be, BUT the weather is looking so much better than it has lately!!!
So tomorrow, Thursday morning and evening groups, get your trainers on ready to get back out there pounding the pavements.
It will be really good to see you all again.

Hi all,
Just to take the guess work out of whether we are running or not, according to the weather forecast more snow is on it's way this week.So no running again,if by Thursday it looks any better then we will try but don't hold your breath!!!!!
I hope this will mean that when we are back running we will all be far more appreciative of the rain,cold,wind,darkness etc.!!!!!
Until then take care.

Okay who has had enough of this snow now??? it looks great on a Christmas card but that's about all!!.
As you will have guessed there won't be any running on Saturday and probably no running next week either.Especially if the forecast is to be believed....more snow on the way.
So keep warm as best you can,and we might just get back to running by the summer.!!!!

PLEASE CHECK WITH ME OR CHECK OUT THIS SITE FOR ANY UP DATES.
HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK WHEN IT MIGHT JUST BE ABIT WARMER.

Happy New Year to all of you.
We start back on Tuesday and it will be good to get into a routine again,the first week will start off slowly nothing too hard for our first week back.
If like me you are full of cold then just see how you feel by Tuesday,if it's above the neck then an easy run is okay, if it's on your chest then do not even put your trainers on!!!!!
There are some of you doing the First Chance 10km today (Sunday) thinking of you and hope you enjoy the run.
So heres to another year of running and making some new friends along the way.
