Lets start with 6 Angels, not Charlie's!!! but my 88 Angels taking Brighton by storm! Brighton probably didn't know what hit em and will probably be a picture in their local rag blaming young yobbo's on wrecking a kids playground lol
Not sure about them Pitsea coloured nickers!!
Anyway the culprits, oops sorry angels (Timi, Jackie, Mel, Karen C) were joined the next day for the Brighton Marathon by Tracey G and Kaz H. They had all been in training for this and had done really well leading up to the race. For once it seems Karen C was on time at the start or maybe she slept on the start line lol.
First home was Mel and probably for once not wearing that damn soggy hoodie!! She finished in 4:11:35
Next up was Ultra nutter Kaz only doing one marathon for a change, so must have just been like a 5k for her, 4:21:58
Jackie was the next 88 home creeping in under the 5hr mark with a 4:59:22 :-) bet she is happy there?
Timi was close on her heels with another great run by the little pocket rocket in 5:04:59 again bet she is happy she squeezed in under 5hrs 5mins :-)
Tracey G rolled home in 5:19:06 again squeezing under the 5hr 20min mark :-)
and Karen C in a 6:08:58 squeezing under the 6hr 10min mark :-)
Some great inspiring runs from our 88 ladies :-) Well done all you did us proud but more importantly you did yourselves proud, but please leave the park antics till after next time!! Don't risk injury!!!
Hopefully we will get some medal pix from the girls once they've sobered up!!
Next up 8 88's take Newham by storm too!!
The team of runners, supporters and a Pitsea boy!!
On a sunny but chilly April morning a team of 88's gathered to take on the Newham 10k. After getting a little warm up by Tessa we all gathered in any wave number lol and got ready for the start gun. We was soon off and doing our best for club and country and got to see each other a few times along the greenway which was nice as we got to shout encouragement and slap high fives etc...
First home was Robbo 42:17, next up was monkey feet Malcolm in 45:23, followed by lanky legs Howlett 47:52, Mick was next and for a change no ambulance was in sight as he was too fast in 50:23, Lady Howlett was on his heals in a 52:01, followed by me in 55:39. Anne was just over the hour mark in 1:00:19 and Julie finishing off in 1:10:56.
Out of the 8 runners, 6 i know of recorded personal best times with 4 smashing previous times and 2 setting their first 10k times, So big well done to Malc, Chris, Mick, Claire, Me and Julie. Anne was so close to her pb time being just over, but still a good run. I don't know Robbo's best time for a 10k. It was good to see a lot of the newbies claiming some club champ points :-)
Here's Claire meaning business at the finish!!
And me trying to avoid the tree running out in front of me!!
And Chris showing us he only run on one leg, or is he flexing it to kick Mick up the arse?
Lastly here's Tessa singing!?
Digger Dagger Digger Dagger Eighty Eight
And thanks to my dad's glamorous assistant Nadine for looking after the old boy and not losing him xx
Till next time folks
Well done all, be safe, be careful......Have fun and enjoy........
London Next :-)
