Another great turnout for last nights run, despite the presence of hills (which everyone accomplished, walking up hills is just fine!) – I did get some photographs as it was such a fine evening, in the Gallery

Saturday Morning 19th April – Bluebell time!
As we didn’t get to run this route last week, hem hem, our working assumption is that we’ll simply run it this Easter weekend and take in the glory of the bluebells around Spithandle Lane….assuming Brian Turrell can navigate the final bit! C11 miles and lovely with it.
Good Luck for everyone in the London Marathon tomorrow…and RESULTS!!
….no this isn’t really a news item, but good luck to everyone doing the London Marathon tomorrow, especially our own Ilidia on her fantastic fund raising quest, and Terry on his 28th consecutive London……..the weather should be perfect, enjoy the whole day!! And send us a report eh!! And some photos!!!!!
RESULTS
Ilidia Campbell – 3:52:22
Terry Smith – 5:08:50
Joggers on Snow
As some of you will know 6 of us recently exported ourselves (courtesy of Mandy Skilton! We know where the power lies) to the Pyrenees to test our running legs out on the white stuff. The stories stay with us, but we did a lot of drugs (Ibuprofen, Ibuprofen Gel, Ibuprofen Extra Strength, Nurofen…..) and a full range of slope colours too across 3 full days of skiing and boarding. A selection of the photo’s can now be seen, if you dare!
Brians Barbados Booz………..Running!
I ran with the Barbados Hash during my visit in 2012 and hence am included in their mailing list, have recently received this flyer and I thought it would be rude not to accept. So here I am in my favourite holiday destination looking forward to tomorrow’s AGPU run and 5 more Hashes during the next week while cruising the Caribbean
Update: Five hashes completed and just one to go before flying back on Monday, have loads of photo’s but selected a few that might be of interest

April Handicap Results
Well, they’re in, and the rule ‘snooze you lose’ was never so true as the leader so far this year Andy Ralph missed this one, and the leaderboard all changed! Congratulations Emma Smith for picking up the leaders armband and showing the way forward. You can find the full results here.
Saturday Morning 5th April
Its the Brighton Marathon on Sunday so coursemeister Hugh is noticeable by his absence, but never fear – Brian T has been nominated to head over towards Ashurst and go in search of early bluebells – yes they are there, very early ones at least, but may be elusive! This is c10miles, depending on how closely everyone sticks to the plan. I’ll be decamping to Wales and will be somewhere near Pontypridd (bet it rains!) but have fun everyone!
Hangover 5 ‘Revisited’ Results
Well done to the three Joggers who completed this event, moved from January
1st due to truly awful weather! Brian came in ahead but many congratulations to Katie and Millie on completing their first Fun Run, and one of the tougher events to boot! Hope everyone enjoyed it.
Brian Griffiths 51:08
Katie Bremner 54:03
Millie Webb 59:05
Me and Millie both really enjoyed it! Although
the hills were really tough which meant my calves were killing (also due to the fact I kept slipping from side to side as I didn’t have proper trainers!) it was great. Really good but of course hard run! Definitely see why you rank it a 3 (or whatever the toughest one is) in you’re Paul rank scale! Hopefully we’ll do it next year and I’ll get a better time
– (I’m quite competitive!)

Hastings Half Marathon
Sunday was not a bad day for the 30th Hastings Half Marathon. The day started bright, only a slight breeze & not too cold. (Later when we drove home, there were hail showers, but I hope everyone had finished by then).
I’d bumped in to Mick Dee & his good lady a few days before in Forest Row where he lives and I work, so I knew they would be attending. But I didn’t see him on the day, neither did I see Natasha.
Duncan Blackburn beat me at 1:48, but I was happy with my time.
Chip times from the web site were:
Duncan Blackburn 1:49:29
Dave English 1:51:58
Natasha Heasman 2:16:15
Michael Dee 2:41:24
Jennifer Cobby 3:22:46
Cynthia Dee 3.36.09
March Handicap Results
