Very commited to his running and has bagged a formidable accumalation of miles for the month of January. Well done Richard bowing out of your 50s with some impresive perfomances. You came back from your injury last year and have not stopped. You was itching at the bit to get running at the time and i think you have more than made up for it now. Long may many more miles continue next month very worthy candidate for me.
Member nomination for me is going to be John Hannan. Simply for his great support and planning of his Saturday runs and moreover for being a great support to me during some tough physical and mental training for my Trail Marathon Challenge. If it wasnt for Johns support and kind words i may have talked myself out of it. So member nom from me is for our JH
