The Charity 'Diabetes UK' have asked if we have any athletes who are doing an event who might like to collect sponsorship monies for them. I have their booklet of running, walking, cycling, swimming & golf events etc. Please contact me if anyone requires these details.

Would anyone be able to pick up Scott and Dominic from Chorley (just off the A6) on the way to track tomorrow? I will be going straight from work and we're struggling with transport to get them there. Ta.

Several members of Chorley AC represented their schools in the Primary Schools Cross Country held at a soggy Bishops Rawsthorne school on Monday 1st. Girls went off first and their were excellent runs from Mara (?) in 12th closely followed by Emily Hunter in 13th. Others to run included Chloe (?) plus at least one more whose name I don't know. The boys race was a mad stampede at the start but Scott and Dominic Gouldthorpe and Luke Hunter showed their cross country experience by running sensible races with Scott producing his trademark fast finish to get 16th, Luke not far behind in 19th and Dominic in 28th. Both races had 80+ runners and I apologise if I missed anyone!!

Great North West Half Maraton Race Report 27/2/2011. Bright and breezy(bracing) conditions at Blackpool, which is noted for fresh air and fun. Fresh air in plentiful supply swept in by a great North Westerly wind, restricted fun to kite flying. Ran quite well, by my modest standards, for approx. 9.5 miles, then experienced discomfort to middle-aged right leg. So with stiff joints and facing stiff breeze, could only shuffle along in closing stages to finish in 1.54.29.

After a very early 6am departure and a 3.5 hour journey the legs were a bit sore for Saturdays long jump competition in the British Masters Indoor Championships. Ended up with 5.33m (again) to take 2nd place. Sunday brought sore legs from Saturday(!) and the triple jump which again ended with a silver medal with a best of 11.45m.

This Friday(11th Feb @ 20:00) the Red Rose XC League award ceremony takes place, normally at the RMI Club, Horwich, and Luke Betts, Barry Chester & Mike Coppin have been asked to attend...which sounds like a good omen !! Obviously this is open to all Club members and family who might wish to go.

I was the only member to run Radcliffe Multi Terrain 10 mile race. - 221/230 in 1:49:44
Start about a mile from the race HQ. Finish about .5m away. Some road then along old railway, which has muddy sections and on undulating paths over exposed, rolling hills. Trail, or even road shoes OK. Enjoyed the course - will be back next year and, if it doesn't class with other local races will be running the 10k version later this year.

Fantastic facilities at Sheffield for the Masters Open - no rain or mud in sight! Managed to dip under 8 seconds for the 60m with 7.96 and 4th, in spite of a poor start. Never got the run-up right in the Long Jump (which was conveniently scheduled at the same time as the 60m) and opened with 4.84 - rubbish on paper but I did take off over a metre behind the board. Finally ended up with 5.33 to take 1st place (and didn't hit the board in any of the 6 jumps), beating former GB international decathlete Alex Kruger.

Good luck to Luke, Joe, Adam, Ryan, Fergus, Ben, Danny, Anya and anyone else who is running the Lancs Schools XC this Saturday. For those of us that are little too old for this race, I am proposing a 'stroll' on the fells on Sunday. Meet at Briscall Baths at 11:00, and we'll take it from there.

I have added a new My Runs(
www.youspoon.com/cac/maps.php ) web page which has replaced the old Maps page. It is intended that this page will grow over time to include a broad library of official and user submitted maps of runs (and directions to events) undertaken by Chorley AC members.

Social run is planned for Sunday 30th January 2011. Meet at Hare and Hounds, Abbey Village for 11:00am. Run around Roddlesworth Roller course(ish), so trail shoes may be a good idea.

There seems to be some training nights at Bolton Areana for Primary Junior age children. Does anyone know what happens and who can go to it? Hope someone can help!

Anyone interested in an easy, run ("Roddlesworth Stroller")? ... please meet at Hare and Hounds on Sunday at 11:00am. Road or trail shoes should be good enough.

There were 422 finishers at the Chernobyl Challenge 10k on a new course. Among them were two Chorley AC athletes: Paul Clyne 56th - 40 mins 53 secs and Tom Hilton 375th - 61 mins 44 secs.
The new course is noticably tougher than the old with two ADDITIONAL testing hills. However, I'm pleased to have run 2 mins 13 secs faster than last summer over the easier course. It was also nice to have one or two people behind me at the finish for a change - 47 in fact!
