I have been running since 1998 and my biggest running achievement so far has been completing my first marathon in London 2008 in 3:54:25.

I am married to a runner and have a young daughter who also loves running. I am a bit embarrassed that I am yet to attend a club night but a husband who works shifts makes this difficult. I love being a Wesham runner though and hope to get more involved in the club in the future

REG CHAPMAN

A long time club member since the mid 1980s, though had a few years in exile in Oldham and Royton Harriers. Noted in the club as always the first into winter thermals, the last out and rarely seen running in a vest. (Who said Yorkshiremen are hardy?)

Is an active member of the Wrinkly establishment for running and holidays indicating he is now well past his best. In his time he claims he could run a bit with a marathon PB of 3:16 and 64 for 10 miles. Now lives quietly in Ansdell since retiring from Blackpool and the Fylde College. Noted as the only Rotherham United season ticket holder this side of the Pennines.

PETER CRUSE

 I started running in November 1982 and gave up 40 fags a day, the best move I ever made, my first race was the tough Burnley half marathon in 1983 and I staggered round in 2.04 for 850th place!! Being asthmatic I was just glad to get round. I joined Clayton Le Moors in 1984 and rapidly progressed to PBs of 5k 15.48, 10k 32.13, 10 mile 53.25, half marathon 1.11.13, 20 mile 1.56.09 and Marathon 2.34.28. I have done several Ultra's, the best of which was London to Brighton (54 miles) in 2003 where I was 8th overall in 7.05.12. I have joined Wesham as the club is friendly, well organised and focussed on achieving, I also hope that I can rekindle my desire to do well again after many years of just going through the motions.

BRENDA EARNSHAW

(HON. MEMBER)

(WEB/MAGAZINE EDITOR)

I am the wife of Peter, mother of three  and grandmother of four  and now  WRR Web Mistress and WRR Magazine Editor!!!  Don't ever let anyone tell you that you  are "over the hill" at 60 - there's life and more after that!

I took over the position of Web Editor in 2004 from George Flanagan and was a complete novice.  George has always been very supportive.  Since then I have been on a continual learning curve and have accomplished more than I could ever have dreamed of with the development of the WRRWebsite.  It is my "baby" and I love the work and the challenges it brings.  Poor Peter sometimes takes second place if there is new information for the site to be published. 

In July 2005 I also took over the Editorship of the Club Newsletter which I have developed into its present form and now call it a Magazine as its content far outweighs the title of Newsletter. This is all down to the contributions by club members. This is another challenge I have enjoyed.

As long as there is life in the "old girl" I will continue to do my very best for Wesham Road Runners.

In January 2006 I was awarded the title of Hon. Member  which I consider to be the highest accolade for the work I do.

PETER EARNSHAW

(MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY)

Started running early 1980’s but let it slip because I didn’t have any reason to continue. Started again early 1985 with the ambition of doing the Blackpool 10k Fun Run.  Soon after doing it I ran into a colleague from the past, (Brian Metcalf), who had been running since the mid 70’s and he encouraged me to continue. He also knew that Wesham Road Runners has just been started so we both joined.  This was the beginning of what has been an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. I continued to improve times at all distances peaking around 1990 but since then have slowly deteriorated. At present I’m trying to keep going and preserve my knees for as long as possible!!

Currently the most enjoyable events are those where I run with others, especially club nights and Thursday Wrinkly Runs, (and Wrinkly Holidays).

I took up running in 2006 as a means of losing weight & getting fit then I got hooked and now enjoy the freedom of running outside and not in the gym. I was persuaded by my Personnel Trainer at the gym to join a running club and it was the best thing I did. My first race under the Wesham vest was a Cross Country and it didn't put me off, since then I have made a lot of new friends at the club.
