Boston Marathon Report By Simon Pearson IAU World Championships By Jason Loutitt Stinson Beach 25k By Martha Mcneely Canada Day Race By Christine thate 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Susan Norrington There are many reasons why we run: to get fit, fun, lose weight, stress relief, mental reward, achieve a goal, increase performance in other sports, to name a few. So why do we join a running club? Running with others commits you to run regularly and makes it easier to continue running Advice from experienced runners on how to start running, avoid injury, ways to improve, good routes to run, how to enter events, how to run at different speeds and over different distances Motivation and enjoyment from running with other people, the miles slip past on your long runs Meet people with a similar passion for exercise and running Make new friends And many of us have. I feel privileged to have made some lifelong friendships in our club as I know many others have. Jim Sargent passed away on August 1, 2011. It was hard to say goodbye to a good friend who touched so many Harriers. He was a Prairie Inn Harrier in good standing from 2003 when he joined at age 79. He ran many races proudly in his PIH singlet and loved the attention he received at award ceremonies, where he not only received many medals but also many standing ovations. He was a true Harrier; he always took the time to applaud others and offer his support and encouragement.

Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.
