Tonight we joined COBS for their weekly run. Amanuel came to say 'hello' but unfortunately due to an injury couldn't run.

We ran the usual winter route after a warm up from Richard. On a cold night we were certainly keen for a warm up and to get running!

Though once done we were suitably warm!

This week we once again joined the City of Birmingham Striders for a 4 mile run around Birmingham. Great effort this week, especially dodging the crowds of Lewis Capaldi fans and NIA!

A big well done and thank you to everyone who helped and supported COBS in hosting the cross country race on Saturday, ensuring that there was a full season of fixtures.

The conditions were extremely wet and muddy but this didn't keep runners away. We were all on marshalling duties, and everyone did a great job ensuring that people stayed on course. So the race was thankfully uneventful despite the conditions!

A special well done to Amy, Liam and Richard who also raced when not marshalling - I also tried to race but gave up after a mile because my shoe kept getting stuck in the mud and falling off - so even finishing was a great achievement!

This week we joined our friendly local running club COBS for an 8km run around Birmingham.

Great work everyone!
