London Marathon
Good Luck to our three intrepid runners who have headed off to the Capital this weekend for the 2012 London Marathon.
Katy, Helen & Norman will all be ready to roll at the 9.45am mass start. We wish them a great race in the worlds best marathon.
Super Sunday – PB’s & a podium finish
Lymm Runners seem to have had a cracking day all round today.
Stormin Norman has taken a podium spot at Blackpool Marathon by taking 3rd in 2:48. Lee was not too far behind him with another superb PB in 3:14.
Jenny was at the Trafford 10k were she also PB’ed in 50:06, another splendid effort.
The SLR this morning was a really nice and varied off-road, trail and road route of just about 10miles. A perfect day for running, hopefully spring has finally sprung.

The combined ladies team of Lymm, Helsby and WRR w on the overall ladies championship by a whisker – it was a pity that there were no Lymm ladies runners to share the podium. Mens came 5th – room for improvement!

It’s finally here! The High Legh 10k is almost upon us and it is all go as Lymm Runners prepares to host our first race with the High Legh Community Association.
The weather forecast looks like it will be a near perfect day for running and everything has now arrived ready for setting up in the morning.

See you all Sunday.
Southport Mad Dog 10k
Sorry I couldn’t make it this morning – hope this second practise run went as well as the first one did.
Only 2 weeks to go now!
I wore the Lymm Runners vest at the Southport Mad Dog 10k this morning. I ran this race last year just a few weeks after joining Lymm Runners. Pleased to report that all of the Tuesday, Thursday and occasional Sunday morning training sessions in the year since then seem to have paid off – my time today was 46 mins 53 secs – almost 5 minutes quicker than last year! It’s amazing what running with you lot can do to a man!
See you on Tuesday

High Legh 10k Run the Route
Another great turnout this morning at High Legh for a training session on the 10k route. It was a balmy 3 degrees and completely different from the icy conditions on our first training session 2 weeks ago.
Run the Run part2
Only 2 weeks to go, final Race Info is being mailed out this week.
See you on the start line.
2nd High Legh 10k Run the Route
Lymm Runners are hosting the second Run the Route on the High Legh 10k course this Sunday starting from the Primary School on Wrenshot Lane at 9am on Sunday.
We had a great turnout a couple of weeks ago (see picture below) so we are hoping for the same this time around. Keep your fingers crossed for some kind weather.
Meet for 8.50/55am for a 9am start. Dress for the weather. We will split into a couple of groups according to pace so everyone can enjoy a training session close to their general fitness level.
See you there
Chris
