Club introductions are always a bit awkward, so to make it easy, this is how it will be: –
A short introduction followed by some random multiple choice questions. Here’s mine.
Ian Wharton. I’ve been running for a good few years but mainly on my own and regularly with injuries, especially Achilles Tendonitis. I think I’ve got that sorted now but I’ll do another post on that. I joined RRRR just over two years ago and loved it from day one. On my first club run, I was impressed that Dave Mawdsley made a point of introducing himself and having a chat. I try to do the same myself now, although the number of new runners is overwhelming my memory for names and faces.
My favourite races are probably the interclubs. Blackpool was my first and the presentations afterwards were a revelation. The muted applause from other clubs is always a contrast to the raucous cheering from Red Rose.
As far as the committee goes, since Christmas I’ve had a bit more spare time so I feel like I want to give something back. I’m not a full committee member at the moment as that can only happen at the AGM, but hopefully I can make a positive contribution.
