Thankfully for this report writer, this week was much easier to summarise the running and racing activities of PWR given things were much quieter. Autumn is definitely now here, and this marks the end of a summer of long distance racing for many of our club members. I think it is brilliant to look back and see all that we have achieved over the last few months, with many members breaking club records, getting new PB's and of course completing new distances for the first time. Well done everyone, you should be very proud of yourselves. Now with Autumn upon us, cross country season starts with the Kent Fitness League this weekend. And I'm sure Bromley parkrun will turn into a mudbath before long, perhaps making it necessary to return to the 'widdershins' winter route!
Talking of parkruns, we still had a fair few members turn up to get their 9am running fix. Clearly, the rest of us need to get hold of whatever Andrew Breese is eating for breakfast- he has set 6 new PB's over his last 7 parkruns and is almost sub 20 mins. Well done Andrew. There were also PB's for James Macdonald, Debbie MacKenzie and Paula Dimond. Paula is up to 25 parkruns- starting out at a time of 30 minutes and she is now on her way to sub 22. There's hope for the rest of us then! Johnny Gill took a trip to Dulwich for the first time and the Laing family returned to Shorne Woods to try out the run there for a second time.

Most probably because almost all of us were having a great time standing in the torrential rain in and around Petts Wood for our 10k. Despite the terrible weather, I think a great time was had by runners and volunteers alike. It certainly showed the true sprit of our club and I'm looking forward to next year already. Just one lone racer to report- Emma Hay took on the half marathon distance for the first time at the Maidstone Half marathon. Despite saying to me on Saturday that she would be lucky to get round in 2 and a half hours, she finished in a great time. Well done Emma! Maidstone Half Marathon 332 Emma Hay 2:17:02

I can only put my Parkrun PB's down to Ian's group 6 runs on Tuesday nights, or the choc biscuit I have with my breakfast cup of tea.

Right that's it- this Saturday I'm having a chocolate digestive with my coffee before parkrun. Or does the magic only come from tea?

Biscuits - the choice of (hopeful) champions.
