Jax gets engaged after 26-mile chase

Congratulations to Jackie Joyce on her superb run in Monday’s Dublin Marathon. She finished in 926th place in a time of 3:26:30. I am reliably informed this is the best time for a member of the OCLHC, beating Rosie's time of 3:29:32 for the London Marathon set in 2006!

Better was to come ... Helen Hawes told the website: “On Jax's return from Dublin, Ian was obviously so impressed that he got down on one knee and proposed ... she said yes and then duly turned up to training two hours later (note the commitment boys!). Ian wanted to propose in Dublin but the result of too much Guinness for a highly trained athlete meant that Jax may never have remembered so he decided to wait …I am sure we all know the feeling (being highly trained athletes!)”
