Jo's Jogging Journal 14th - 20th October

Bromley parkrun continues to be the location of choice for most of the club runners on a Saturday morning- I suspect because most PWR's are chasing their fastest parkrun time at any event as part of the October Grand Prix. Some runners ventured to Dulwich, known for its very flat and fast 3 lap course, and we had representation at Orpington, Brockenhurst, Bexley, Greenwich and Orpington also. Look out for the updated Grand Prix standings later on in the week where you can work out who to trip up on the start line. I mean, who to beat.  PB's this week for Jane Branch, Neil Baynes and Yolanda Martinez.

Only a few races to report for Sunday, many of us decided to attend the first race of the Kent Fitness League in Knole Park in Sevenoaks. This was a tough 5.6 mile course and many of us were reminded of the difference cross country running makes to your fitness- I certainly found muscles that hadn't ached before!
5 members decided to venture over to Twickenham to run the Cabbage Patch 10 miler, Johnny Gill managed a new PB and set a new club record. All without a functioning Garmin! Phil Morley broke his own club record in the Amsterdam marathon and Steve Jeffrey took part in the first running of the York Marathon despite injury and lack of training in the run up to the event did a time that he describes as a personal worst but the rest of us think is still brilliant!
