It's been a while since the last blog post and alot has happened over the course of the running season. We've had new runners complete their first race at the Rock 'n Run event in July. Other members travelled as a group to the Johnny Miles event in New Glascow. And more recently, 25 club members took part in the Legs for Literacy event in Moncton. There have been some great personal achievements along the way - some awesome personal best times, a couple of Boston qualifiers, inspirational lifestyle changes, and weight loss successes. Most importantly, new friendships have been made and it is so much fun to see so many runners on the streets of Miramichi!
On October 30th, we held our Annual Holloween costume run but due bad weather we took out the "run" part and just met for a costume party! The costumes were great and, as usual, we collected lots of great stuff for the local food bank. Thanks to Andrea Paul for looking after getting the donations to the food bank for us. Andrea also took home 3rd place for her awesome Avatar costume. It was a hard choice, but in the end Sue McLean took 2nd place for her "Bingo Granny" costume and top prize went to Nicole MacCallum for her very creative iPod costume!! Honorable mention to Lori Singleton with her hilarious 70's marathoner costume. Awesome! Thanks to everyone for coming out to support the food bank.
