And then there were FIVE!
This weeks run from the Golden Ball saw just five hardy souls (Jerome, Steve S, Sarah, Amanda and Jules) set out at 7:05 on the usual run via the railway crossing and Bradenham Woods, and one (Chris R) in the direction of Radnage! Chris was attempting to meet up with Susie who had decided to run over from Radnage as the babysitter was delayed. We delayed the start as we waited for more people to turn up on what was one of the warmest evenings of the season so far. WHERE WERE YOU ALL?
The first hill took it’s toll as Jerome had a minor asthma attack at the top (having run up very quickly) and cut out a short section. Now down to four we split just as the second hill begins and I did an extra half mile up to the track along the ridge where I chanced upon Susie who had come up from the other side (with out Chris!). We ran together for a few minutes before she persuaded me to carry on and catch the others. At the finish in the we had run about 4.5 miles in less than 50 minutes which is fairly quick. Can’t comment on what Chris covered but he made it to Radnage and back in just over an hour.
The George and Dragon was surprisingly unchanged (read unimproved) since we were last there – despite being closed for a good few months over the winter. Kate joined us for a drink following a Spinning class which her instructor had forced her to go to (apparently!!). Conversation was interesting, varied and entertaining (as always!). Congratulations to Sarah for completing the Marlow 5 in 43:56 - very impressive.
Next week we run from the Hucks’ in Radnage for Champions League Final (Man. U v Barca) – start 6:45 for about 50 minutes so that we can be back for the KO at 7:45. Buffet and drinks provided.

Yes why were there only five????? I had a bad calf (again) but at least I had an excuse. Well done Jules. I bet you the turnout is better when food's on offer! See you tomorrow - calf has improved I think.
