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.

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).
