Report

It was a miserable morning but 12 hardy runners took part in the December race. No-one apart from Martin beat the scratch time, a reflection of the poor conditions. The handicaps worked well with 10 of us finishing within one minute and one second.

The stars were Martin, who attributed his improved fitness and reduced weight to gastric flu and Sandra who recommend the two-month taper approach. I reckon they have both been secretly practising. Well done.

Thanks very much to Jack who gave Christmas gifts to the winners, to Maggie and Jack marshalling, to the Goulds for putting out the signs and the Longparish Cricket Club for the venue. Also to Maggie for arranging mulled wine and hot mince pies.

The next race is on Sunday 13 January starting at 10am. Hope you can come.

And on Boxing Day... The Great Longparish Santa Dash
Come and run off the Christmas pudding in the Longparish Santa Dash on Boxing Day. Assemble at the Shop at 11.45 where the best dressed and most glamorous Santas will be judged followed by a dash to The Plough starting at 12 noon. Please put on a Santa outfit (available from The Range for under a fiver or £1.99 from Lidl) or at least a hat or just come and support or cheer along the route. The pub will be open for Santas and supporters to satisfy their thirst. Children welcome provided they are under close parental supervision.
