Well actually it's not a running route really but it will be for me! The Ashby Canal is being restored and have just been given government permission for a compulsory purchase order. This means that the canal can now be extended another 2.5m from Snarestone to Measham where I live which will give me a nice 5m loop by running down the canal and back up the roads!
The next stage will be from Measham to Donisthorpe and more difficult as it is up hill and will also need to go under the A42 but that will also give me another route! But is also several years away!
The canal currently finishes at Snarestone but connects to the rest of the canal network from there so when I get to doing loooooooong marafun training runs I can use the canal and admire the scenery!
I know it will take some time but the future is looking good!
On a different note last night I had a comittee meeting again for club. The beginners course was brought up again and this time the discussion was much more annimated. There are a few of us who believe this is an excellent idea then there where those who thought it was wrong. They stated that we were a running club not a coaching club. People should approach the coaches themselves privately etc. Very annoying they just didn't seem to realise that new people and women in particular just won't do that. The club has already seem people turn up for 1 maybe 2 weeks but not come back. I haven't returned yet because I know I am not fast enough yet for the slow group so what are the others, the new runners thinking??
This is something that needs working on me finks!!
