All the best for running the Edinburgh Marathon to yourself and Chris.

Letter Re: Berlin Marathon

Dear Stephen,
 
My name is Jessica and I am the fundraiser at Heart Care, which is a local cardiac rehabilitation charity here in Walsall. I am running the Berlin marathon to raise money for Heart Care in September this year and am putting together a running team to take with me to Berlin.
 
Could you please let me know whether any of your members would like to join my team? I have 6 available charity places and would really love at least a couple of those places to be taken by local runners. Each charity entrant must agreed to raise and donate a minimum of £300 to Heart Care - the average amount raised per marathon charity place is actually £1,000 so I have no doubt that this benchmark will be well and truly smashed!
 
As you will know, Heart Care is a medical charity which provides cardiac rehabilitaiton and after care to people who have suffered a heart attack, undergone surgical intervention or suffer from other coronary heart conditions. Heart Care offers its patients a unique programme of monitored physical exercise so that patients can return to a normal, active lifestyle.
 
This year, the Berlin marathon falls on World Heart Day, which is fantastic for us. I want to use this opportunity to promote healthy living and regular exercise within Walsall and the West Midlands in general, where levels of child and adult obesity and coronary illness are amongst the highest in the country.
 
Ideally any interested runners will agree to be involved with press and a number of photo opportunities since I am going to promote this to the local press as much as I possibly can! If there is any interest at your club or if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Kind regards,

Jessica Element

Won't be able to make it tonight. I fell over at the train station yesterday and bashed my left knee. What an idiot. Need to wait for the swelling to go down so hope to see you next week!

Wickson's Travel found my MP3. Thank Goodness I'm already on my third one.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Jane.

Simon,thanks for taking the photos at Tewkesbury - I look quite good. Thanks Steve for putting them on the website.

I'm not sure if toady saw your MP3 player Karen. Perhaps Ratty, Moley or
Badger did. Well done everyone for your fine efforts in the Tewkesbury runs. Especially to the wee Jock runner.

Tewkesbury Results and some of simon's photos are now available via the grand prix page.

Just to let you all know i am still around and not fallen off the face of the earth! Hope to be back with you all next Tue

Tewkesbury
Well done Dale for another great day. Arranging the bus, the meal gave us a chance to run and have a good day out.
Well done Steve Grubb on a great performance, coming 5th overall.

Well done Steve.

Many thanks ,everyone, for your good wishes & alcohol related advice. I will take note & hope to see you all soon in a suitably sober state!! The leg is healing well thanks. Jane

Did anyone find an MP3 with headset on the coach toady ?

Jane
Do not take more water with it at all. This is negative thinking.
Take an even bigger slug in the first place and by the time you notice, it will have healed.
