John D (1.47.32), Blake (1.55.51) and Charlotte (2.34.58) all completed the Great North Run, Chris W was on form with 1.54.52 in the Lincoln City HM and John McD finished 3rd (34.51) in the Stevenage 10K.

Last week saw a big Roadhogg presence at the Equinox 24. Our large teams, Wildhoggs (Blake 4, Marc 3, Neil 5, Lee 2, John D 3, Mat J 3 and Marcus 3) and Hoggettes (Anna 4, Charly 5, Emma 3, Adele 3, Helen 3, Grace 2 and Cath 3) each completed 23 laps. Our small team, Mini Wildhoggs (Dan 5, Mark Eustace 4, Terry 4 and Sam C 4) completed 17. Charlotte ran the daytime standalone 10K and Anna was obviously bored, because she added the nighttime one to her team duties as well.

This week, Mike C ran 1.32.24 in the Bristol HM and Neil 1.17.44 in the new Birch Wood 10 mile race. Moving away from the tarmac, Charly’s 2.08.01 bettered her previous time in the Clipston Trail HM and bagged her 6th lady and Brian flew the flag for the over 70’s in 3.22.21. A word too, for friend of the club Dave Pearce who finished 7th in the Saturday edition of the Tissington Trail HM, where he was joined by Jeannette and Shaun.
