A must do annual run for anyone who wants to recapture the joy of running after 12 months of gruelling x-country meetings, energy sapping 5k/3k WG/ SGP races, HMs, marathons, triathlons, iron mans and whatever other events you lot put yourselves through in pursuit of your passion and your PBs.
We ran, we threw, we jumped, we conquered.
There must have been something in the air (of which there was a lot blustering around Monkton Stadium!) On a euphoric day when the Toon were promoted, the mighty Green and Golds (and Whites!) were inspired to victory. After a disheartening relegation last season Wallsend and Blyth teamed up once again to show why they deserve to be top spot. While over in Tynedale our minis competed in their first proper competition track and field – Tynedale Open – with a great turn out.
Ok, it’s weak but I couldn’t resist (sorry Mish, but I had to pay tribute to your efforts in the headline).
I can barely keep up with all the Green and Gold goings on over the last few days (and just generally in fact)! I hope I have not missed anyone from the following list of events and achievements from the past week (if I have you have my permission to sternly DM me!)
Meet at Hadrian Park Leisure Centre at usual time.
Well done to Kevin Hood for taking victory ahead of Darren Flynn and Danny Hughes. Samuel Charlton ran the fastest race in 10:39 and sets a new course record. With Jack Armstrong in 2nd and Andy Graham 3rd. Sarah Robson ran the fastest ladies race with a 12:41, and also sets the mark for the course record.
I will include this into an overall table with the results from the previous events.
Many thanks to Andy Clark for helping with the officiating. And Bill Todd acting as lead bike.
Next SGP is 30th May. See you then
