spirit of the Ovies is seldom more visible than when we host our race. \u00a0Thanks to a huge effort from the race committee, all who assisted on race day and our sponsors, the AGN race committee made the following observations about the race:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Well organised<\/li>\n<li>Awesome water points<\/li>\n<li>Very beautiful route<\/li>\n<li>Very little traffic on the route<\/li>\n<li>Community had a positive attitude towards the athletes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We had the following number of entries:<\/p>\n<p>5km: \u00a0617<\/p>\n<p>1okm: \u00a01471<\/p>\n<p>21km:

the money that we make from hosting races to the benefit of our club and the running community. \u00a0SO&#8230; watch this space for news about the building of our club

\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>JEANNE&#8217;S WORKOUT \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This month I share with you information on a book \u00a0on running that focuses on the mental benefits of running. \u00a0Many of us run not so much to receive a medal at the finish of an official race, but to enjoy nature and that special feeling that running in nature gives us. \u00a0Here is what Vybarr Cregan-Reid says about his book <em>Footnotes: How running makes us human.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Running allows me to step off life&#8217;s pathways and into the bracken; to turn my back on the fingerpost and tumble into the weeds. \u00a0Running has changed me so completely that now even the sight of a landscape painting instils in me a deep desire to step into the frame, and beyond it. \u00a0To run toward the horizon, feeling the cool grass beneath my feet, and be gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The book is available at Exclusive Books.<\/p>\n<p>For a few reviews of the book, go <a
