Boston 'Poppy Run'.

Well-what a day!After some terrible weather this last week,we were truely blessed with great weather this morning.The morning was cold,but the day clear and bright,with virtually no wind.
The club had a good turnout of road runners and it was our own Jose Ferreira who was first to cross the line.As you all know Jose puts a tremendous amount of time into helping the club,is an ever present in races throughout the year-on the road,country and on the Track(his 800m sprint start will go down in club history!),and since coming under the wing of our head coach,Peter Arnott,just continues to improve with every race.Well done Jose!
Boston runner,Shaun North,whose strong running is always appreciated by the club came a good second,followed our young thoroughbred,Aidan McClure in 4th.These 3 athletes dominated the team race.Well done lads!

The Ladies section is going from strenght to strenght at the minute.Alice Flint was second junior/senior lady,with another performance which typifies her never say die attitude.Emma Penistone was 3rd junior/senior lady.Emma always gives her all,both in training and racing,and her attitude is an example to all the younger athletes in the club.This was the second hard race in as many days for Emma,as she ,together with Aidan McClure and Dennis Rainbow,paraded the club colours at the North Midland League Cross Country at Wickstead Park,Kettering,the day before and it was fitting to see her walk off with an individual trophy.Diane Gill was the 3rd member of the winning ladies team,as well as carrying off a trophy in the Ladies vet 40 category.Di joined us in the summer and is already a valued member of our 'road running gang'(not just saying that to get free eggs,Di!!).

Of course it is not just the athletes at the front of the pack who make the club,but everybody as a whole.Well done,and thankyou,to all the rest of our athletes who competed in the 5.4 mile road race and The Fun run.Also for all the invaluable help by everyone involved in the initial organisation of this event and for everyone involved on the day responsible for such things as refreshments,time keeping,marshalling,results and the setting up/taking down of the course.Thankyou.
