Congratulations to Zoe - and last night's times

WELL DONE ZOE!
She completed the Great North Run in a creditable 2 hours 33 minutes, ran all the way and raised over £500 for the Alzheimers Society - a fantastic achievement!

Last night's times:

• Advanced: 6.09km in under 39 minutes. We did the first (hilly & partially off road) 5K in a respectable 31 minutes.
• Standard: 5km in just under 40 minutes (I had 39:44 on my watch).

Well done to all - some fantastic running!

Times & Distances 24th & 25th August

I'm relieved to report that my Forerunner gadget is now behaving!

Standard Group: 47:17mins 6.8km Ascent (as per Tracklogs!) 98m
Beginners: 31:00mins 3.8km
Intermediate Group: 43:23mins 5.01km - now the Garmin reckons that it's 199m ascent, but I'm suspicious as it was less climbing than on Monday.... love gadgets.

Have a great week - see you on Monday (yup, we are running on Bank Holiday Monday!).
