This weekly report won’t include our regular race reports, which will begin again next week.
The past week has been very difficult for Running Forever after we lost James Lewes, one of our most beloved, active and social members. The kind and gentle big man with an even bigger smile.
From joining RFRC James had very much established himself at the heart of the club. He was a regular leader of Group 3 on a Wednesday night where his trademark was the somewhat random incorporation of mini cul de sacs loops. James was also a great participant in races, including completing his first 50-miler this year and traveling to the Florence and Porto marathons on club trips. Most recently, James had joined the committee and had immediately got stuck in writing the weekly reports and it won’t surprise anyone who knew him that he was keen to take on more responsibility.
Whilst this has been an awful time for the club, most of all our thoughts go out to James’ family and friends during this impossibly difficult period.
Rest in peace James – we were amazingly lucky to have you in our running family and will all miss you deeply.
