So currently unable to run due to injury, I decided to go along to today’s run in Portslade to cheer our runners in and discovered a whole different way to enjoy a fun run without getting out of breath! As I am never anywhere near the front finishers it was a real eye opener to see what happens after a fun run has started and just how quickly the first finishers start coming in. Our very own Andy Massingale finished in second place and as always, there were some strange looks from both Marshals and other runners as Henfield Joggers finished and then joined in very vocally to cheer their team members home. Well done to everyone who took part as it certainly looked to be a very undulating course from where I was standing!

Today’s brilliant Henfield Jogger Fun Runners!
Great to see a different perspective Nikki. An odd event this one in that according to our Garmins it actually measured 5.2 miles, where most Fun Runs appear a little (or even a lot) shorter. Plus there is a strange magic effect in that you seem to be climbing for most of that distance, yet in theory it’s 2 miles up, 1 mile around the top, then 2 miles down. Yet it just isn’t like that! Undulating would be the best description, yet even that is misleading. The ‘downs’ never seemed to quite balance out the ‘up’, somehow! A great event though and well done to those doing this for the first time today, especially the storming Tammy. And great to see Derek doing a fun run…..and he even found it fun!
Great right up Nikki!
