3.Rotm – I am gonna have to give this one to Chris Almond. Despite a massive health scare before Xmas Chris has shown true grit and determination to continue to be strong, continue with his marathon plan and is just so fab at pacing people. He has seen many through in gaining their pbs, me Included. He is a fabulous runner, friendly and very inspirational. He’s a true gent always wants to help others. He is fab in his encouragement and I am so glad to be training with him again and I know I speak for others. He continues to grow as a runner. He.s one to watch.

Motm – I.m going to give this one to Matt Simpson. Matt reassured Karen, Chris Almonds wife, that Chris was ok whilst running St Annes on Sunday. Karen was overwhelmed that Matt had taken the time to give her reassurances that Chris was ok and looking strong. For Karen that put some anxious worrying moments to bed and she was confident Chris would finish the race ok. It’s those little things that make BRR what it is. Looking out for each other. I found that so bloody lovely . Big shout out to Matt

8.Runner Harry Catherall, he’s absolutely smashing every race he’s doing and just keeps getting quicker and quicker.

Member Sue WOlstenholme,
It can’t be easy being in and out of hospital with a baby, but to still be as focused as she is helping run the club is admirable.
Thanks
Graham Jordan

9. please can I nominate Andy McArthur for runner of the month. He had no clubmates running with him at the St Anne’s 10 miler and isn’t one of the faster runners, but he kept plugging away and every time we passed him he had a smile on his face. We also weren’t at the end to welcome him in as it was so cold that we had to go inside for injury prevention which was a shame after such a great run. To run for 2hrs plus in that wind and finish is brilliant. Fantastic running, huge respect.
Please can I nominate Jane Matthewman for Member of the Month, not only did she run with me at St Anne’s but I know how busy she’s been with Winter Warmer entries. She handles everything professionally, with the minimum of fuss and still has a smile on her face.
Thanks, Kate Rippingale

23.Runner – Adam Booth, getting quicker and quicker each week, a couple of great times recently, to go well under 19mins on Preston parkrun is amazing. I’ll try and follow him next time! He asks for and listens to advice, going to create plenty of PBs this year. Nice guy too.
Member – Sally, I know part of her committee role is the social media side but I’m getting the hang of Twitter and she’s putting the club on the map on there. Some excellent cyber-stalking and internet witchcraft going on.
