Jason Draper made the following comment on an earlier post, and it's well worth reading. I'm sure we would all agree with the thoughts expressed.
"I would just like to mention those who come and support us all who run our races on these cold days,mostly early Sunday mornings.So thanks especially to my partner Lisa Gutch and my Mum Margaret who between them have missed only a handful of races ,KOR and others,during my 3 years with the club. In fact they are seen at more races than some of our running members.They are there to support me and all of us and I think you will agree that without the support of the crowd some of the races we do would not be what they are. I would like to extend my thanks to other spouses and relatives etc. who also attend to support us regularly and occasionally especially Richard Cowley who seems to be around to support the current Mrs.Cowley whenever she runs!And thanks to those I haven't named as well,you know who you are.I know it can be boring for them sometimes especially on the longer races and journeys.Thanks also to all of those who are involved in behind the scenes work with the club,organising and helping.Without all of these people we would not be who and what we are."
