Early 2021’s lockdown seems a distant memory now. What I do remember, is how much running helped during that period!
I’ve been lucky in that Mr Poynton was happy to share his time and run with me.

Whilst I’ll happily walk for miles, running doesn’t come naturally, or willingly
My 2021 hasn’t quite been the success story of others! I’ve covered 830 miles but only 200 running (and I use the term running loosely 
).

Race Director
A year which saw me continue to enjoy my role as Run Director and running at parkrun upon its resumption culminating in a few pb’s along the way
Thankfully more ups than downs mainly down to friends on lockdown runs and club members when we were all back together.
This weekend saw a few Harriers out braving the rain and running at Parkrun, Coventry Half Marathon and Chester 10km.

Only one brave Essington Harrier faced the prospect of a soggy Parkrun this week, well done Gary!
The Essington Harriers were out running at RAF Cosford’s Spitfire 10km Race on Sunday, it’s a popular, local race and for good reasons; it’s about as flat as a 10km race can be, it’s fast and the bling some of the best for any race ever.… Read the rest
It was so good to once again remind people #DFYBC. With the culmination of the Couch to Awesomeness group celebrating with their first 5k event, the Essington Harriers were out in force at Chasewater Parkrun this weekend.
The awesomeness group did brilliantly, putting in a strung set of 5k times, and that was matched by club runners Steve Cunningham, David Poynton and Sarah Blackshaw getting their Parkrun PB’s 💪🦅
This was the 34th Chasewater Parkrun, and there were 156 runners.… Read the rest
The return to running weekend kicked off with the Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon, which is fitting as the last event before lockdown was the Stafford Half Marathon.… Read the rest

It’s been the most amazing experience meeting each and everyone of you. You have made me feel very welcome and I have enjoyed the laughs along the way 
So I joined the running club after lockdown after a lot of hesitation on whether I should or shouldn’t 
but I’m so glad I did and have never looked back!

Getting a sub 3:30 at London Marathon was my favourite moment of the year 😅
