Congratulations Sheila Leavy - NHRR Squirrels of the Month for June 2019

Sheila has been awarded Squirrel of the Month due to her incredible resilience and positivity after a serious fall while racing.

The fall led to Sheila having to undergo several operations and left her confined to her bed and unable to walk.  Her determination and positive attitude through out her recover has been an inspiration to all of us and it was great to see Sheila walk the mile race at Run Round the Garden in June.

Although unable to run Sheila remained a dedicated squirrel through her recovery supporting races and attending club socials from her wheelchair and later on crutches. As soon as she could was able to walk she walked to and from training session always smiling and encouraging others.

Congratulations Lorna Chambers - NHRR Squirrels of the Month for May 2019

Lorna has been nominated Squirrel of the Month for making her Half Marathon debut at our very own Greenway Challenge.  She thoroughly enjoyed the experience and afterwards she reflected how much she had achieved in just a year and half running.

Running is all about enjoyment and achievement and we think Lorna personifies this and is a very worthy winner for May's Squirrel of the Month.

​Congratulations Andrew Porter - NHRR Squirrels of the Month for April 2019

April is marathon month so it was a tough choice for SOTM as there were lots of great performances to choose from.

Andrew stood out after completing his first marathon at London. Running London Marathon had been a life long ambition for Andrew. He completed his marathon in 4.49 creating a new club record for V70 and raising over £2k for the charity Children with Cancer.

This makes Andrew a very worthy winner of Aprils Squirrel of the Month.

Congratulations Lisa Laundy - NHRR Squirrels of the Month for March 2019

Squirrel of the Month for March is the very inspiring Lisa Laundy. Lisa has been battling cancer for almost 20 years. Running has played an important role in Lisa's life helping her both physically and mentally deal with cancer.

The charity Macmillan Cancer Support have also been a major source of support. Lisa's Macmillan nurses worked with her to help her manage her medication so she could continue to run and are now helping her and her family live and cope with cancer on a daily basis.

Lisa set herself the challenge to run the Vitality Big Half. It was her first half marathon which she finished in 2:23:59 and raised over £1,200 for Macmillan Cancer Support as a way of saying thank you for e
verything they have done and continue to do for her and her family. 

You can still donate to Lisa's fundraising page for Macmillan.

Squirrel  of the Month - February

Congratulations Ali Blunt and Jennie Andrews - NHRR Squirrels of the Month for February 2019

February's Baldock Beast Half Marathon produced some great performances but it was the shoe swapping shenanigans of Ali and Jennie that won them the title of SotM.

Ali was competing in the half marathon when blisters drove her to take off her shoes and continue racing in just her socks.

Jennie had been marshalling and came to Ali's rescue by giving her the shoes off her feet to continue the race leaving Jennie to marshal in her socks.

An unbelievable but true story  with both showing what being a squirrel is all about, passion about running with full commitment (to carry on even without shoes)  and being there for others (giving up your own shoes).

Congratulations Matt Sayers - NHRR Squirrel of the Month for January 2019

There were so many great performances over the Cross Country season making it a difficult choice for 2019's first Squirrel of the Month Award.

But there can only be one (usually) winner and Matt has shown real commitment to the club, and to his training.

He not only scored in every one of the 3CXC races but he ran the last race in Wootton the day after he competed in the Southerns XC at Parliament Hill which is possible the hardest XC race ever!

He contributed to the teams overall win of the league, and won the individual MV40 catergory. Matt also performed well at the Herts county XC and won selection for  the inter counties XC.

The yellow group coach is described as hardworking, patient , friendly and very encouraging. He didn't let injury prevent him from coaching even when he couldn't run himself. Brian would cycle or walk shortcuts of the route, which was very much appreciated by the athletes he trains.

He is also a regular at the clubs popular First Saturday of the Month 5k where he is responsible for entries and results. He is always a willing volunteer and other club events where he can be seen cheering and supporting others.

PictureJane Clarke
Congratulations Jane Clarke - NHRR Squirrel of the Month for October 2018.

Jane has been an inspiration to many of us this year and is a very worth winner of this prestigious award.

​After a serious accident earlier in the year Jane has remained positive throughout her lengthy recovery. Visiting the club and keeping in contact with club mates, she is always encouraging and supportive of her fellow runners. Jane even volunteered to help promote club activities by managing our STRAVA account and has done a brilliant job.

Running was an important part of Jane’s life before her accident and we are all so pleased to see the role it has played in her recovery and to have her back running at the club.
