Runners of the Year
Congratulations to Mike Wood and Karen Galpin who were voted as Runners of the Year for 2010.
|
Congratulations to James Wilkinson for completing the Tough Guy challenge 2 hours quicker than last year
and for his recent charity marathons. Also to Alison Hume for her consistent improvement,
the personal bests achieved in recent races and for her 'give it a go' attitude.
|
Well done to Chris Midgely for his consistent improvement on recent race times and for
his cheerful encouragement to others. Also to our new and very helpful
3/6 mile route leader, Jayne Adams, who has not only improved her own running but that
of many other newcomers to the club.
|
Our first pair of Runners of the Month who combined endurance with compassion to raise significant amounts of money for
charity in recent events: Congratulations to Mike Wood who ran the entire 103 mile Cotswold Way in less than
24 hours for Cystic Fibrosis and Anne-Marie Willicott who ran 3 consecutive marathons within 15 days for Haiti
relief fund.
|
Our second pair of Runners of the Month who combined endurance with compassion to raise significant amounts of money for
charity in recent events: Congratulations to Kim Boskett and Pete Twinning who ran the London marathon for
Multiple Sclerosis.
|
Congratulations go this month to runners Natalie White and Robert Turner who have not
only consistently improved, but have also been particularly helpful in the organisation
of the Devil's Chimney race.
|
This month's outstanding runners are Carl Hartley, whose PB at the Frampton 10K was
testament to recent focused training and Hazel Everett who made a great impression
at the Gower triathlon and gained a great PB at Frampton.
|
This month's award goes to Hester Davis who has improved significantly over the
past year or so since recovering from injury and to Ed Collier who has been working
hard to improve his recent race times and contributes regularly to the web site and forum.
|
Congratulations to Dave Davey for smashing his target of a sub 4 hour marathon
with a time of 3 hours 54 minutes at Abingdon (with ample encouragement from Mark Willicott).
Karen Galpin leads by example, with an outstanding year of substantial pb improvements over
all distances from 1 to 30 miles, including her stunning JW Ultra run, achieving 1st lady
and 6th overall. She continually supports the club as a leading committee member and encourages
members to achieve higher standards.
|
Long-standing member Allan Green puts the rest of us to shame by competing in his 300th marathon
in Benidorm - an incredible achievement and no plans to retire any time soon! Our Faster Moderates
Group Leader, Ken Petersen, does a great job with a popular and expanding group and has worked hard
to reduce his recent race times significantly. Well done Ken!
