sun bursts and runners

After the thunder and lighting on Saturday morning; as good as that was to watch I would not want to run in it, the sun burst out and at 8.30 my new group began. Smiling faces as we set of for a steady 1 and a half mile first session together, talking and getting to know each other. This feels like it is going to be a great addition to the Boat House Runners group. Thanks John for coming with me to help. I know you could have done with a bit of lie in.

Then onto Group 2, now that I had warmed up ready to go and with Tonia making her entrance flying down the hill on her bike, we were all set to go again. Being a kind hearted person  I found a nice tree lined avenue to shade us from the sun. But the group did not seem that pleased with the idea that they had climb up the hill to get there. As I say, it's all down hill after. It is really good to see people who only a few weeks ago felt that running around the lake was hard work, turning into runners who were tackling numerous hills. There were still smiles on faces as Tonia took the warm down, and questions came of what type of running to do in the week and any additional stretches to do.

Well I headed back home from a great morning running, being with lots of wonderful people to be greeted by my wife who had sorted the breakfast out. I am really pleased with the running group, I can't see how it could get any better. Maybe just the addition of 1 more hill...
