Pudsey Pacers Newsletter Proud to be a Pacer MARCH Pudsey Pacers 2016 Newsletter Leaping along with an extra day of energetic enthusiasm, we suddenly arrive into March: a mix of warming sun and unexpected Arctic blasts, daffodils versus de-icer, Parkrun replaced by Post Hill... So, there’s change in the air - this month comprises some of the stalwarts of the Spring race calendar: Keighley and Bradford 10kms, Spen 20, Thirsk 10 and of course the Guiseley Gallop. There’s also the Pudsey Pacer AGM and an opportunity to get involved: annual member survey, volunteering at club race events or maybe even stand for a committee position? Ten Years A Pacer - Trogging - Tourism - Trail Tales This month’s edition is again packed full of diverse race reports, signposts to other events the usual frills with a distinct lack of thrills! There’s an interesting account of how the Club has transformed in the last decade, running stories and personal experiences of all distances: from 5k right through to trail ultras. Also keeping us informed with an update of progress, there’s a report from one of the Leeds Half Marathon training groups. Thanks to all contributions and please offer a race report or tell the Club what you’ve been doing. Hopefully something here for everyone? Read, laugh and enjoy. And good running to all. Just be careful what you clasp eyes on to keep you moving forward and upward... Email: [email protected] @Braveshorts A little bit of Inspiration Hello everyone. I’m sure we all have times when we might be finding it tough to lace up our running shoes and get out there – rubbish weather, aches and pains, hard day at work … the list goes on. Just remember, you’ll always feel better for having had a run. Here are a few inspirational quotes that might help you along; 1. Ask yourself: can I give a little more? The answer is usually ‘’yes’’. (Paul Tergat) 2. If you want to win something, run 100 metres. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. (Emil Zatopek) 3. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. (Steve Prefontaine) 4. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up. (Thomas Edison) 5. The only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary. (John Wooden) 6. If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it. (Priscilla Welch) 7. A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there. (Unknown) 8. It’s very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other run- ners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit. (George Sheehan) 9. Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. (Ovid) 10. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. (Aristotle) 11. The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory. (Les Brown) 12. It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up. (Vince Lombardi) 13. Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. (Suzy Kassem) 14. Measure success in life by effort and doing your best, then it is always in your hands to suc- ceed and to be proud of yourself. (Steve Peters) 15. There is no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream. (Unknown) ELAINE RUSHWORTH 2 10 YEARS A PACER ANDY HARDAKER I remember coming home after my nephews First Holy Communion in May 2002, for some strange reason dressed in my suit climbed on the bathroom scales for the first time in ages. When I looked down I nearly fell off. At 15st 7lb this was my epiphany moment. Something had to be done. I had been an armchair sports fan for the 20 years since I‟d left school apart from two years playing cricket. So I cut down on the sweets, cakes and crisps and bought a cross trainer which I used religiously four times a week. At the time my girls did gymnastics and one of the other dads invited me to the gym. I tried the treadmill for the first time ever. Six minutes later I clambered off, legs would only walk sideways. I slowly built up to 20mins over the next few weeks. This gives me great admiration for Karen, Joy and Arthur who can get their Run England beginners group up to five miles in just 10 weeks. Many of who, Karen included, have now become valuable members of the club. So early one June one Sunday morning I tried my first outdoor run since I‟d left school. The first half mile I was so out of breath, but then it kind of settled. The climb at Broad lane was a real tester. I made it home and realised I‟d loved it. So I tried it again over the next few weeks, slowly building my distance and still losing the weight. When I had achieved nine miles I noticed a flyer for the Leeds Half and it made me wonder if I could manage that. So upped my next run to 11 miles and promptly entered the race and loved the whole thing. That was the moment I became a „runner‟ instead of a dieter. So I carried on participating in races. Then just after the Brass Monkey in 2005 a random guy, turned out to be Sean Casey, came up to me in the gym at the Leisure Centre said he‟d recognised me at the race and would I be interested in joining the Pudsey Pacers. Unfortunately at the time with my girls gymnastics being on club nights made it really awkward. Anyway, Sean would periodically badger me and about a year later the girls quit gym so the main obstacle had been removed. Now before I‟d entered races I used to think „club runners‟ were of a certain standard and too good. But now I knew we come in all shapes, sizes and standards. I remember looking in the Pudsey Times and seeing Pacer results wondering who all these people were. With the likes of, Jim Wheldon, Rob Samuels, Mark Dixon, John Marshall, Dave Woodhead and Dave „the Towpath Specialist‟ Burdon. Which is ironic because of the many, many miles I have since run with Dave very few are on the canal? So two weeks before my 40th birthday I trundled up to the Leisure centre to have a go. Couldn‟t see Sean anywhere which did nothing to calm my nerves. Going through the embarrassment of being introduced as a new runner. I still see the similar look on many debutants in a tradition that has carried on. Then no doubt has we have all gone through the tough decision of whose group do we join. A recent good example of this was when I took the 11 minute group out and could see a new runner had found it really comfortable, turned out to be Matt Livesey who has just knocked out a 36min 10k at Dewsbury. Back then ALL the weekend results used to be read out. Then the groups going out came up. I remember it being announced Trish had just passed her coaching exam and was taking a multi ability hill session, so that was the one I opted for. It was that or a group that sounded like Arthurs nude ladies! After a couple of warm up and steadier hills we were taken down to Lumby Lane. Now working locally I have driven up and down here numerous times. Doubtless we all have found out though any gradient is amplified several fold when not in the car. We were told if we were a quicker runner to do four reps, three for the others. So as I reached the top of the climb for the third time everyone in front of me turned to do a fourth. Obviously I‟m thinking being the newbie I‟d better turn, not one runner followed. CONTINUED NEXT PAGE 3 10 YEARS A PACER So sure enough on my first night I was the one everyone was waiting for at the top of the hill. But on a dark February night it as easy to hide. Plus as I have found out, and will tirelessly reinforce, the group wait for everyone regardless of ability. I‟d a great time. First time I‟d ever done a hill session and I was hooked. Although times have changed, back then not knowing anyone, just exchanged a few polite pleasantries and on my way. Home for 8.10pm. Now I cant seem to get away till the last runner has gone. I do apologise to those of you I keep from their teas. Although I do find it entertaining watching Morvern shuffle further away towards Robin Lane as we talk. Back then I seem to recall it was listening to Gary Philips telling is interesting running stories in his own special way. Training was a bit different then. Not always structured groups on a Tuesday. The idea of a hill session was eight times up Gibraltar Road. The end of each session for some reason seemed to end up in a race. As we came round Chapletown the pace would suddenly up and everyone would go. Caught me on the hop a couple of times, but once I became aware of it I was ready.

  • Newsletter 165 for E-Newsletter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 165 Spring 2019 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 EDITORIAL As I write these words towards the end of May, bird migration is virtually complete. There is the usual anxiety as to whether Swift, Swallow and House Martin numbers have reduced again, although all three species have now arrived in the area. It would be useful if all members who are aware of nesting sites of Swift and House Martin would let us have the records so we can monitor their populations and pass the information on to the relevant agencies. Information on House Martin Nesting Sites Requested Our 40th Anniversary year is fast heading to the half-way point. To date, 50% of the nest boxes proposed have now been made. Thanks to Paul West for constructing them and to all those who gave donations for the materials. Trees have been potted up ready for planting out as suitable sites are identified. We have made contact with local schools in this regard. We held a Bio-blitz in Astley Park during the May Day bank holiday. Sadly, adverse weather meant that very few members of the public were in the park on the day. Nevertheless, several of us covered the site, and we successfully recorded over one hundred species, which had been set as a notional target. Details will be published in the next newsletter. We hope to re-run it at the end of August in hopefully better conditions, and probably with more of an emphasis on insects.

    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 150 Summer 2015 EDITORIAL Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 It’s probably worth noting that this is the 150 th edition of the Society’s Newsletter, although apart from it being a nice round number it doesn’t really have any other significance. For the first couple of years, the Newsletter was issued on a bi-monthly basis, so the 150 th doesn’t represent any particular anniversary apart from its own! It’s an excuse though to remind members that we need your input to continue producing it. So, articles, book reviews, poems and the like would all be welcome! Neil Southworth Our Emblem – the Goldeneye 1 INSECT REPORT We were promised an influx of Painted Ladies this year, but so far they haven’t reached the Chorley area. By the end of June we had received only 3 records – admittedly that is 3 more that we often get! Two came from the Croston area and one from Great Hill. Hopefully more should arrive as the summer warms up (maybe). When Painted Ladies are numerous, it is often the case that other migrants show up as well. On 24 th June there was a Hummingbird Hawk Moth feeding in Euxton. It is likely that we will get more, so eyes peeled. Hummingbird Hawk Moth seen in Euxton I have been lucky enough to travel around Britain in the last few months in search of various butterflies. One thing that has been noticeable has been the large numbers of Brimstones I have seen.

This led to fears that January might bring a repeat of the freezing conditions of December. This was not to be as milder weather arrived mid-month, with temperatures climbing into double figures with a maximum of 11°C on the 15th. However, as the weather turned fine, the temperatures fell and sharp frosts returned with -5°C on the 20th, and apart from a wet day on the 25th, dry, fine weather persisted to the end of the month 4ith frosts of -4°C on 28th and 29th.
