GariochRR
Website Survey
Thanks to everyone so far who has completed
the GariochRR website questionaire.
We could really do with a
some more responses, so if you havent done so yet, then read on for
more details....your opinion really does count!
Do you ever
visit the GariochRR club website?
(www.gariochrr.freeuk.com)Sure,
it hasnt been updated for a wee while, but we are planning a few
updates.
But we first need to find out a wee bit more about what
GRR club members would find useful/interesting to have on the
site.
So if you could spare a few moments to answer a few
questions, then we'll have a better idea what should be available
online.
Its completely annonymous, so dont hold back on your
comments - this is about what we do to improve things.
Give it a
go - it will give us something to discuss a the AGM.

FREE Drink at the GRR
AGM!
The GariochRR AGM will soon be upon us, so make a note
in your diaries for 20th April at 8.00pm (after a short club
run).
As usual the AGM will be in the meeting room at the Garioch
Sports centre, Inverurie.
In a departure from the usual tea
& cakes refreshments, we've decided to up the calorific intake
to cheese & wine; so please leave the car at home if you are
planning having more than a tipple.
Please contact Steve
('the sec') Waites with your nominations for office bearers (go on
make his day!) and also nominations for the John Sharp
Trophy.
Thanks for all who sent a reply to the GRR PB survey.
There's still time to respond to this - for anyone who missed last
week's request, Charman Pete Stephen wants to know how many runners
in GariochRR got PB's in the last year. Its not the actual time for
your PB(s) that is of interest here, just if you ran a new PB in the
last 12 months. The statistics on our achievements will be included
in Pete's big speech at the AGM; so if you could send an email to
listing what distance you got your PB at,
that would be grand.
Alternatively you can send a text: Simply
send 'PB' followed by '10k' or 'half' or 'mar' or 'none' and your
name to 07808055382

Getting fed up
listeneing to the same old music on your MP3 player on those lonely
long runs?
Then check out a bloke called Steve Runner (www.steverunner.com).
He
does this 30min 'Podcast' that you can download to your MP3 player
and listen to on your long run. He records a discussion on a running
topic, some running related music & other ramblings while he is
out on his long run the week before.
He's been training for
the Boston marathon on April 17 & seems to have gone through all
the usual injury woes / motivation crisises etc.
Despite his
American nationality, his podcasts (inc. archives) contain a few
interesting bits - I liked his discussion on 'the long run'
including an all too familliar conversation with his wife before
setting off.
Check it out....
