After all the
running last week, there was very little competitive running this
week - Striders were either resting or sunning themselves on a beach
somewhere!
On Thursday evening, Paul Nicholls took part in the Staffordshire
Moorlands Athletics Club summer series race at Wetton. The race is
5.5miles and has 990 feet of climb. Paul did the club proud by
stopping and walking with a fallen runner resulting in him taking
last place, but with his head held high.
Striders were to
be found at six different parkrun events around the country on
Saturday morning.
Eight Striders
took part in the Congleton parkrun at Astbury Mere, with new personal
best times for Stephen Mclean and Claire Dalton. Full results were:
