• The Boughton 10k went well

    i-1f1b8e0d6573ad562c66830310bf7f58-b10k_small.pngThe Boughton 10K went very well. We had 355 people enter (312 turned up and completed) the 10K and 142 in the Fun Run.

    2 Years before, there were around 215 runners in the 10K, and last year there were over 400. The big leap came from the run being selected as a “Kent Championship” race. This year were weren’t, so as a new organising team would have settled for 215 entrants, with hopes to grow it to 250 thanks to the advertising we did. I most optomistic target was for 300 runners.

    I’ve written a report that will go out with the finalised results about how the day went. Like how Mid Kent Water saved the day when at 6pm the night before we realised we had far more runners than we expected and not enough drinking water for them all. The provisional results were posted at http://www.rootskitchens.co.uk/10k.


  • Have you ever noticed…

    Have you ever noticed how when you have the inclination to do something you can’t and when you are able to do that thing, you can’t remember exactly what you were going to do?

    There are lots of things I’ve been meaning to write about and just haven’t made any time to, but it’s around half past 9 on Sunday morning, I’m at work early (more on why later) and I’ve got a spare few minutes. Actually, they’re not really spare – but I decided to treat myself and do some typing instead of work.

    So, what’s been going on?
    I think, I’ll create a new entry for all the different things like: Mum and Dad going to Australia this morning, How the Boughton 10K went, and more.


  • First Aid

    I spent the weekend with the ATC at St Martins Plain in Folkestone on a first aid course. The good news is I passed! The course was organised by the ATC as it’s a good thiing for adult staff looking after young people to have good first aid knowledge. I’d been meaning to get myself on a course for a couple years as it had been so long time since my last course.

    The course was also good for meeting other adult staff from around Kent Wing. Although I’d never met any of the staff from the other squadrons they were all very nice people. It’s amazing how easy it is to make friends in the ATC.
