Doing It For The Kids...

A great fun run last night at the back of the Emmott Arms.

The highlight of the evening was the fun run orgainised for children of running club members and the participation in the adult run of one young man (proudly mine!)

This highlights to me what we should be doing more of as a club - and I know Bev has already started this on Tuesday nights. We will add a Dragons Juniors section to what we do as a club - proper coaching, affiliation and events

Thanks again to everyone who came out and supported, marshalled, participated and cheered on the youngsters and the not-so-youngsters. They all appreciated it.

Just a note - this was intended to be a fun run, not an evening social event! It would have been nice to see a few of the people who just turned up at the pub actually running or at least cheering on the kids

We will be organising an official club championship in the future - Dave has agreed that we could start in the morning and have a brunch laid on. All to be consumed in sweaty running gear by everyone - make up and party frocks will not be required...
