About the organisers

Both Alison and Sally are qualified Fitness in Running And Walking coaches. Sally is part way through completing her Level 2 coaches award. Both have been running on and off for a many years although Ali is the competitive one having entered races from Race for Life to the Silverstone Half Marathon.

Ali is a Mum to two teenagers, two dogs and assorted other furry friends. She is efficient, with a good memory and local knowledge. She deals with phone calls, paperwork, route planning and operating her Garmin.

Sally has no children, just a very unfriendly cat. She is scatty and disorganised. As a qualified sports therapist it could be argued she has more technical knowledge, however this consumes enough of her brain that she often forgets her watch and cannot be trusted with a garmin. She also writes the newsletter and writes a weekly report on the runs.

HOOKED

By Sue “Running Machine” Wellham

For me, like so many others it all started with the race for life. Having never taken part in a running event before it was a step into the unknown. I needn’t have worried as it turned out to be an incredible and very enjoyable experience.

Those of you who have taken part in one of these events will know what
a humbling experience it is.Hundreds of ladies all shapes and sizes running for the same cause, to raise money to fight breast cancer. It was a lovely sunny day for the run in Falmouth. As we all stood at the start line (after many trips to the portaloo’s) following the warm up session all you could see was a sea of bodies all with the reasons they were running pinned to their backs.
Some in memory of loved ones, some for those fighting it and some for
those who had beaten it.

This caused a lump in your throat

but  then you were off.....

Carried along by the wave of bodies.

 
Out past the beach, and then a steady climb up and around the castle. It was all a blur by now, my eyes were running due to the wind and the effort my lungs were having to make and I tried not to think of the pain in the back of my throat. Time to think again why I was running and it did the trick.
 

Then suddenly, we were going down hill and back along the beach road. There were people smiling and clapping you home.

Those heavy legs were suddenly light and bouncy and my goodness I was flying!!!
 

Then it was all over but for a medal, a goody bag and feeling absolutely fabulous.
 

That was it and with the prodding from Sally to join the network..........

Hooked and loving it
