September. Autumn, “The year’s last, loveliest smile” as William Cullen Bryant described it. The time of falling leaves, falling temperatures and pictures of uniformed kids in front of doors. The time when the hopes of Utd fans have already turned to next season… One late result on the vidiprinter from last week as Jonathan Carter…
Obviously, my remark last week about the weather had the intended result and the gods have finally remembered it actually August for a while yet. So, like wasps to my pint glass, you all headed to the roads for some racing. Before it rains again. First of all, a couple of late results from last…
Yes, it’s freezing, windy and the nights are getting darker. It must be August in Mallusk. And as thoughts turn to Christmas, you’ve all been getting in some racing before the first snow hits. Taking on the parkruns this week were: Valley parkrun: Ramunas Stanevicius 19:41, Neil Campbell 21:27, Alan Erwin 27:08, Neill McGlinchey 28:38,…
The obvious highlight of the week (or any week) was a certain race over a PB course somewhere in darkest Mallusk. But more of that later. Taking on the parkruns this week were: Valley “Blues Brothers” parkrun: Alastair “Elwood” Houldsworth 22:35 (and 2nd place overall), Ken “orange whip” McAuley 20:46, Paddy “Jake” Brooks 23:53, Noel…
Well, the annual two weeks of overindulging, a diet consisting mainly of beer, pizza, wine, ice cream and beer again, has not really helped my elite training regime. Then again, I did do a couple of short slow runs when I was away. (Well, obviously just for the first week). I think that more than…
Do you hear that sound? It’s the bottom of the barrel being scraped as both Cav and Work Experience Boy are both off enjoying their holidays, and so it’s left to yours truly to report on last week’s running. So down to business, beginning with a round-up of all your parkrunning. Waterworks parkrun Ken McAuley…
Well good morning Harriers. As our weekly Cavillator is on a well deserved holiday you are once again lumbered with me. To start us off this week a few had their yearly pilgrimage to the Ards Riviera resort of Portaferry completing the 10 miles and relay where: 10 Miler Mark Smith 1.02:56 (1st in age…
I’m walking on sunshine and don’t it feel good. So said Katrina and her Waves. I disagree. Both on a general scientific basis (it sounds dangerous to me) and also after my run today. I was practically walking and didn’t feel good at all. Taking on the parkruns this week were: Valley parkrun: Neil McCready…
They say the best things in life are worth waiting for. This report is the exception. Taking on the parkruns without being headers this week were: Valley parkrun: Neil McCready 20:54, Alan Erwin 24:38, Ken McAuley 24:38, Paul Skillen 25:59, Pamela McCafferty 26:47, Leo McAuley 29:40, Lord Ian Brennan 29:52, Danny Donaldson 29:53, Joe Mathers…
Only really one story in town this week but let’s get back to that. To catch up from last week, we now have the full Energia 24 results. Running as an individual, Craig Mills completed 101.65 miles. Amazing. We also had 2 relay teams competing. The Marathon Queens (Joanne Milne, Sharon Dunn, Leeanne Skillen &…
