Running Club

Running club got underway this week with an enthusiastic group of children eager to visit a local park and get running. We started with a warm-up and after some drills we finished with the 'camel' run. The 'camel' run is based upon a race that I participated in across the Sahara desert 6 years ago (the Marathon Des Sables). If you were in difficulty in this race and managed to get caught up by the camel at the back you were not allowed to continue the race. So in our race the camel (me) had to try and catch up all of the runners (after giving them a head start). It was Estelle this week who managed to stay in front of the camel the longest. Well done to all of the runners for their super attitude this week.
