Liz took part in the Dublin marathon on 29th October 2007, completing the course in a time of 04:13:58. "I'd recommend this race to anyone, the course is quite tough but Dublin is a lovely city and you get a great medal and t-shirt afterwards".

OUPAAC club meeting cancelled 24th July
Due to the difficulties in getting around Oxford (and the fact that Port Meadow is apparently completely underwater) at the moment I think it is safest to call off tomorrow's running club outing.
If you do go out running on your own PLEASE PLEASE take great care - stay away from river and canal paths which might be flooded and stick to routes which you know are well away from flood water.
Hope to see you all next week (July 31st) when hopefully the waters will have receded somewhat.

TEDDY HALL RELAYS, 7th March
Well done to our 2 teams - it was excellent to see lots of people from the club out running! We had one ladies team and one mixed team. It was a fun event and lovely day (we all had the afternoon off work) so we'll probably do it next year! The only down side was that if you are on a later leg (3 or 4) then it is hard to be as motivated as the course really thins out and you don't have many people around you. Still a great finish on the Iffley Road track!
Individual times are really good! So well done everyone!!!
