Loca 		She's been selected for England. Read her brilliant blog about how she overcame injury to get that far. Deserves to be MotM on that alone - Baronessbl

A Vote for PtB is a Vote for Change... :o) - SODIron © 2002

Would like to nominate Paul again this month for his contribution to fetch in the sub 3:15 marathon thread. He's always full of great advice, analysis and support on what is one of the most helpful and useful threads in fetch, imho. I suppose nominating Paul is partly saying thanks to all the guys and gals on the 3:15 thread. Go ptb! :-)G - HappyG(rrr)

Friendly,encouraging,respected by loads of folk. - Sunbed Athlete

He's a builder and he's called Paul and he cares about the sub 3:15 crew. Nice. - BigChiefRunningBore

Always ready to give plenty of sound advice on training and even better if you are looking for stats/figures/graphs on training. Vote PtB - BS

Agree with the other nominations - always offers solid advice and has achieved a sub 3hr marathon by training consistently and sharing this with others. - LouLou


Gymfreak 		For her incredible comeback after a blood clot. Awesome. - James1982a

LEG-end! training record, blogs, everything is awesome! Also a lovely person (but I wouldn't recommend crossing her after her antics at the enigma.... u will definately come off worse Raspberry! ) - B-Lass


KKKKKarl 		Been an amazing support to us newbies at running and is a dedicated coach to our junior team GOOOOO Mr C GOooooo - 1pagey


Lalli 		Fetch wouldn't be the same without Lalli's blogs to keep me smiling, I'm exhausted just reading them and what she's acheived with the beginners course is outstnding. She's an example to us all. - Foot & Mouth

L'Oreal - SilverFox

for being so supportive of new runners and her awesome comeback after the boot! - lady alton

Look at her profile & her blogs about the beginner's running course. Lalli puts so much into her running club, her own training (even when injured) and into Fetch too. - Baronessbl

Lalli consistently writes amusing and interesting blogs! She has also started up a beginners running group in her own time and is giving back to the running community in this really special and important way! - Roofus

Injured, came back. Injured again & came back. This woman is like a little dynamo, active on Fetch, always on the go regarding club matters & has also taken up coaching complete novices on a *From couch to 5km* course.
She doesn't just talk about it, she gets out there & does it.
Inspirational to all runners.:-)
- ogee

Lalli has made a massive contribution to our club, recently setting up a beginners class and being an active committee member. Due to her busy life with a young family this has meant sacrificing her own running time at times. You would deserve any award coming your way.Hubby 2 - The Shark


Maclennane 		For leaving the country :-) Seriously, can you believe he hasn't won this yet? Let's give him a sendoff... - Fat Dave
