Ragged Rascals

From Ken Eynon
The Canberra Half Marathon will be held on Sunday 14th May with a 5k Fun Run and a 1k Mini Jog on the Saturday afternoon. Entry forms are available now with online entry/pdf file download on our website www.canberrarunner.com.au.

I am looking for helpers and volunteers for both events. I know a lot of you have been very busy volunteering your services with events in the ACT over the past months and must be wondering where does it all end? When do we get a rest? Unfortunately this is one more request for your help. If you can afford the time to help on this weekend please let me know.

Half Marathon Helpers - required on the Sunday. Will receive free entry to the Saturday 5k Fun Run, a long sleeve half marathon t-shirt and the chance to win one of two $50 Gift Vouchers from the Runners Shop.

5K Fun Run and 1k Mini Jog Helpers - required Saturday afternoon. Will be in the draw to win one of two $50 gift vouchers from the Runners Shop.

If you can help please contact me Ken Eynon on email kene@incanberra.com.au or phone 02 62546548 ASAP. I would like to finalise the helpers lists quickly.

Cheers and thank you all,
Ken Eynon

Mill Creek results from yesterday
Hmmm. One more run to add to my ever growing list of courses to "never race". Not that I cannot do the water crossing, but the ground is too unpredictable to trust my vulnerable calves and ankles to. I jogged around the course beforehand and watched from the sidelines instead of running. Beatiful area for training though.

Around and Around the Rugged Rocks...
We ran raggedly around the Majura 10k course this morning, on a beautiful crisp clear morning in Canberra. Jeni Greenland, Kent Williams, Lynn Williams, Barbara Williams (no relation), Barbara Tucker (still no relation), Ken White, Graeme Small and me. Too many New Zealand connections present to avoid mentioning Rugby, but not a word about any "reality" television show. Hurrah.

An hour of intense gym work afterwards, at UC and in the company of Craig Edwards, and my day was done.
