Reflecting on a great week in Birmingham with a load of club members supporting Mollie, Ciarán and Paul.

Performance of the week, the original tough of the track, Paul O’Donnell in the marathon.

There must be another marathon this autumn:  MTR were out in force at the Frank Duffy 10.  Lorraine O’ Driscoll on the podium and the over 50 women on top of it.

Interesting stat during the week:  DSD top club at the national masters.

Practical completion of Phase 3 (House and environs) was achieved on Tuesday.  It’s a bit raw but please start to use the shiny new trails with a nice gut punch of a hill and take shelter from the rain (that must surely come) in the Stableyard.

Now just to get our hands on that shiny new indoor straight…

The summer camps finish this Friday after 6 successful weeks.  But juvenile training starts back next week!  (The disturbed inmates of the endurance group returned a couple of weeks ago.)

This weekend, Hiko tries the Antrim Half Marathon.  Go on!
