December Strider of the Month
Richard Smith - Richard has improved massively as a runner over the last twelve months or so, through dedication, training and determination. He's also a very supportive team-mate, and is always willing to go well out of his way to help a fellow Strider or runner. Richard is a new & late convert to running. Despite being inexperienced he has tackled difficult races this year, including Baildon BW & Cross Bay, and has been a willing participator in both the 2016 club trips. He recently ran his 100th park run, which took him just over 3 years (the whole 100 not the last one) and involved the shedding of 2 and a half stone! At the final club run before Xmas he ran the last few km of his 1000km target for 2016. Richard never blows his own trumpet and is prepared to be involved in & support everything the club does. He loves running & loves being a Strider.
