It was great to see so many people turning up for the new Couch to 5k class this evening. Fortunately, the rain stopped before we started and we had only a small shower late on.

Everyone got off to a great start.
We do it again tomorrow.
And don't forget you can still join up tomorrow (Tues) or on Thursday.

NEW COUCH TO 5k Class - Come on down!
Yes, we are starting a new class at Letterkenny Community Centre on Monday, Nov 4th.

This is a great way to get into shape and feel great before Christmas. Why not ask a friend to do it with you?

In just seven weeks we will go from zero to doing a full 5k.

Ideal for beginners, or those wishing to get back into running.

NOTE: THRE IS AN OPTION TO DO A 3K. So, if you think 5k might be too much, then this can be done instead.

Class is on Mon, Tue and Thurs.

A massive well done to all those who did their trial 5k last night.
Conditions were tough which made the achievement all the greater.
Well done again, folks.
Just look how far you have come in two months.

We do our official end of course 5k on Sunday morning at 10.00 am at Letterkenny Community Centre Registration from 9.30 am.

Don't let the weather stop you!
Yes, folks we are at the end of the latest Couch to 5k Class at Letterkenny Community Centre and this evening we will do a trial 5k run at 6.30 pm.

Unfortunately the forecast is not good. In fact, it is bad, with almost certain rain.

So wrap up well, don't let that stop you. Everyone has put in so much effort and done so well.

Look at the progress that you have made over the past eight weeks.
You are now on the verge of completing a 5k. It is an achievement you can be proud of.

Given the bad weather, we will do the 5k on the track. Usually we do part of it on a loop around the community centre for those who wish, but not on this occasion, primarily on safety and traffic grounds.

Anyway, it was great to see so many out on Tuesday when the weather was bad, so hopefully we will get good numbers this evening.

We will start at 6.30 pm as usual.

On Sunday, we will do the 'Real McCoy'. If you can't make it, don't worry as today counts as finishing the 5k. But we can't give out anty medals or certs until after Sunday. (They will be available for collection from me on Monday).

On Sunday, registration will be from 9.30 pm and we will start at 10.00 am. You can either go around the track or go on the 5k loop around the town. We will have some other runners who have done it before out there to support and run along with you.

There is a €5 charge for Sunday, which includes medals, certs and light refreshments. If you paid up front at the start, you are already covered.

Do bring family and friends along on Sunday to cheer you over the line. It is a big achievement.

If you have any queries, you can contact me on 086 8175194. Well done to you all. Regards, Chris Ashmore
