Special Mentions

Dave BROUNETT completed the Liverpool Marathon – 4 hrs 40

Our thoughts also go out to Rachel PASCOLO who unfortunately fractured her ankle a week out from the Marathon after 12 months of dedication and commitment.

We wish Rachel a speedy recovery.

David is particularly proud of his group on their accomplishment and ‘super effort’. For anyone inspired by the feats of these champions, Running Group taken by Dave is on every Wednesday morning at 6am. Furthermore, with daylight savings now here, we are considering offering a beginner’s Running Group with David in the evenings. Members are encouraged to pre-register their interest to healthclub@windyhill.com.au.
