Emma S and Claire W took to Nostell Priory parkrun on Saturday, running it with their respective canine companions, Claire gave her new Go Veggie vest an airing too; helping immensely to get the subliminal message well and truly out there.
Sunday saw round 3/5 in the PECO cross country series with this particular round staged at Beckett Park in Leeds. Mick, Rose and Emma were again in stalwart-like attendance and all performed at the top of their game with some very credible 'counting-for-team' runs. Emma and Rose had top half and top third of their category finishes respectively whilst Mick had a top-third-of-the-male-field-overall result.
Sunday also saw a welcome return to racing for Steve C (pic) who has had a tough time of it in recent months with recurring injuries. Steve C was joined by a semi-hibernating Steve W at Reddish Vale Country Park, Stockport, for the annual running of a really nice event; the Hit The Trail 5. The event is a well organised, friendly, and true multi-terrain affair with a combination of tarmac, hard-pack trails and fully off-road (muddy) single track sections. The event also sports some very nasty little climbs, including a much-respected and even slightly feared 'stairs' section.
Steve C managed the course without any apparent problems which is mighty encouraging for the coming months. We look forward to Steve's GV return to the Cani-X and mega-endurance events scenes. Steve W also made it round without incident, forcing a reluctant winter-padded body to a top-10%-overall finishing spot.
