Saltwood Boxing Day Run
Its that time of year again, so members should be thinking up their excuses for missing out on the Boxing Day Run. My knee reacts badly to the cold weather, so I'll have to bow out early, but Tom is in fine form and should be taking part this year.
For those of you that don't venture out on Boxing Day, its a great excuse to grab a pint from the Castle and catch up with friends. You may get the chance to see Jeremy sprint past, and we have great hopes for Lewso this year, perhaps a top 50 placing. Come on The Wood.
Slightly off topic, but if you are a member of a club and want to help raise funds, have a look at www.clubshare.co.uk - SCC have raised over £130 in the last 3 months.
If you're looking for the official Saltwood Boxing Day Run website, then here you go. Just ignore the bit about our website being 're-hashed' and 'slanderous'.

Tom's 'Boxing Day Run' excuses
| 1994 | Achilles Tendon- strained (this has never really healed and is generally worse come Xmas). |
| 1995 | Extreme Fatigue syndrome, possibly ME. Either way, I overslept |
| 1996 | Cartilage wear in my knee. No Doctor ever diagnosed this, but generally the Knee felt worse in the cold. |
| 1997 | Lost shorts |
| 1998 | Severe Asthma, misdiagnosed by my suspicious brother as a 'bit of a wheeze' |
| 1999 | It was raining. Like a racehorse I find I only really run well on specific ground conditions. I think my preferred ground is sand (and more specifically African sand). Unfortunately the Boxing Day run is run on a combination of mud and road, which do not favour my running style. |
| 2000 | Severe Appendicitis. It turned out to be a stitch. |
| 2001 | I heard a rumour that Keith was waiting on Sandling Road. I also had a recurrence of my achilles problem. |
| 2002 | Shin splints. I also got a new jumper for Xmas which I wanted to show off. |
| 2003 | Bad back, caused in part by having to sleep on Alex's floor as we had visitors for Xmas. |
| 2004 | I was asked to carry jumpers and didn't feel I could say no. I also cut my toe nails too short, resulting in some blood around my little toe. This had severely disrupted my training program. |
| 2005 | I hope to run this year, but this may depend on whether the race can be run on African Sand, and indeed whether my knee/back/hip complaints (which I don't like to talk about) clear. I also find that I am better over shorter distances (eg. sofa to Fridge). |
