THE ZURICH GNOME DISPLAYS HIS MEDAL

Our very own Gnome displays his medal.
Your chairman landed at midday and imeadiately headed off to secure a marathon entry..no need to worry lots of non runners looking to sell thier numbers back to wandering gnomes from mirdovia!!!!!!Job done it was back to the digs for a chinky and staight to bo bos!!
Rest day on sat and there is snow on the ground and time to buy some slinky running tights very fetching...the chairman always was in touch with his feminine side with the next club polos shirts likely to be pink!!!!
The morning of the match arrives and although no snow today its brass monkeys at 530am on the way to catch the train to the start.
Get off the train and the scarily efficient swiss weigh your chairman and then offload his bag into the numbered railway carriages. Stood alone with 5000 other runners proudly dispaying his respendent club vest the chairman picks the 415 pacemaker as a target!!!!!
Ahead of schedule at 10 and 21 k he runs at under 6mins a k untill hitting the wall at 25 to 32 k....untill refuelling with loads of Pepsi at 34 k and then found a new lease of life the belt past loads of stragglers in the last 7 k running at just over 5minutes a k pace for the last 5k.....just like the night he won the xmas handicap..no cramp and loads in the tank as he crossed the line!!!!!!!Weird feeling having crawled over the line in dubai and ad 5 times!!!!!!!!
Great event great atmosphere with loads of support on route very flat course and good temperature for running in the end...suggest a milers field trip next easter????
Your Illustrious Chairman Scadds

CHAIRMAN CANTERS COURSE TO CLAIM PB

Our Illustrious chairman scampered to a PB yesterday in the 2007 Zurich Marathon. His splits are below, we await his detailed report and photo's!

3419. Scadden Martin 1967 UAE-Dubai 4:18.42,0 2:10.22,8 (9658) M40 799. 6.07 ¦ 1:02.05 3665.¦ 1:02.34 3677.¦ 1:05.50 3464.¦ 1:08.11 3120.¦

Congratulations to the two further Dubai runners whom competed, Andrea Manetti ran 3-17-54 (Andrea has run with the Milers so we'll claim him for ourselves!)and the astonishing Antonio Di Somma who ran a 2-57-21 at the age of 53. This I might add age grades Antonio at 88% (that is his performance is 88% when compared to the world record for a athlete of his age) anything over 90% is normally considered a world class time. Yes he is that good.

SWISS STROLL FOR SCADS AND OTHER SCAMS

Firstly good luck to our Chairman Sir Scads of Mirdifovia in the Zurich marathon on Saturday, Provided he manages to bag a entry. No doubt he will be checking the club funds in the numbered swiss bank account as well.

Aprils Social will be held at Dominics on the 09th April.

There will be a 15Kish Saturday run this week 01st April, meet at 0600 Uptown Primary School. The following two Saturdays both myself and Martin are away so Saturday runs will be dependent on Colin or Tony taking the lead, emails will be sent!

Monday runs will continue as usual meeting 1900 at Uptown Primary school, route to be decided by whoever gets there first!

MILERS MASS AT MUSHRIF

The Milers massed at Mushrif on Friday to ensure that Club Honour was upheld. Mirdif Milers A of Chris & Tony set the days fastest time for 3 laps of the park 48 mins 56 seconds. Second fastest were Mirdif Milers B Dave, Keith & Jim 52-46, Mirdif Milers C of Dominic, Malcolm & Chris Vernon were third fastest in 55-09. Mirdif Milers D of Amelia , Carol & Chris Veron (Again, keen this lad) finished in 59-34. Mirdif Milers E of Matthew (Extremely Hungover) Martin & Colin trotted to a 63-16 and last but not least the Mirdif Milers F of Elaine , Dave F & Dean sprinted to a 58-47 finish. Sadly all 6 teams were spectacularly useless at predicting their times and we won NOWT.

So in true Milers style we went to the Irish village to celebrate!

DEFECTOR TRACKED DOWN IN HIS MOUNTAIN LAIR

You can run but you can't hide from the long arm of the Milers. Founding member Pete Larkin has been tracked down to his Scotish Lair, the MM vest was dispatched, Once a Miler always a Miler...... THERE IS NO ESCAPE

SUFFERING SATURDAYS FOR SCHIZOPHRENICS

Suffering from a Split Personality, unsure which club is for you? Dubai's most forward thinking club has the solution for you, Joint Venture Vests! If you really don't want to offend anyone we can probably arrange the same catching design but with a Road Runners Back panel (this could be the only time you will ever see a road Runners vest in front of a Miler!).

Mirdif Milers the club with a solution for all problems, including the saturday run for those unable to make Fridays at the DCS run. Come run with us at 0600 on a saturday. for a scenic trip through Dubai's mountains. As you can see numbers are rising!

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU. MUSHRIF PARK RELAY

WANT TO BE PART OF A WINNING TEAM?

We want to put out as many teams as possible for this one on the 23rd March. All volunters please drop me a line on djackson@nobledenton-me.com. In line with our Club Charter if you can find Mushrif Park you can run for the club, though it will cost you DHS 120 for a milers vest!

MUSHRIF PARK ISN'T QUITE AS HILLY AS THIS PHOTO

LONELY MILER LOOKING FOR MATES!

One lonely Miler went to Abu Dhabi for the spring Half Marathon, finishing in 1-42-01. Founder member Keith Thompson ran a PB in 1-34-20 and Ian Gordon kept up his good form of late with a 1-32-30 however both choose to wear the DCS vest leaving One Lonely Miler !

MAKING MERRY WITH THE MIRDIF MILERS MINDER

A Semi Official Milers night out took place on Thursday night in aid of the Dubai Runners going to London Marathon. As you can see by the photos the theme was a 60's, 70's & 80's night. The night featured the unveiling of the Milers Minder DOT. Mess with us if you dare! Rocking the night away were Jim 'Hawai" Varley, Amelia "lets go back to someones house" Varley, Martin "rocker' Scadden, Anne " Austin Powers" Scadden, Matthew "Gizzard Puke " Diggle, Carol"Goth' Diggle, Lisa "I want me wig back" Jackson & Dave "three wigs" Jackson. The MINDER Dot & the Minders Keeper May were also present.Copious amounts of Alcohol were consumed and we are proud to say that not a single Miler who was at the event made it to the creek striders run on Friday morning.

A hangover "Special" was run by Martin, Matthew & Dave on Friday afternoon! Click on Anne for the Evidence!
