Run Report by Richard
On what was a damp and grey evening Duds, Brett & Sarah, Michael, Chris, Jerome, Kate, Jules & Amanda and myself (sorry if i've missed anyone) met at the Jolly Farmer for a 7pm start. The first half of the run seemed liked the old days with as many stops as you could wish for (not sure why) and no sign of any hills. As always my memory of the run and which direction I was running in is less than clear, I believe Maidenhead was the general direction. After a brief unplanned blip in the route leading up to the Robin Hood pub we were back on course and heading through the woods in the direction of home. Jerome explained to me that he favoured these less hilly runs and made an analogy with a juggernaut. Simply put when the juggernaut is on the flat its unstoppable when on a hill it can only chug along at 3 miles an hour. I followed the unstoppable juggernaut with a smile.
The group then split up for the final push home with the brave few taking on the "steps". I was lucky enough to be with Duds who had discovered a gift for map reading and after passing the turkey farm managed to navigate us directly into the pub's rear garden, legend. Personally I thought the run was excellent.
Usual drinks at the pub with as many bags of crisps as I've seen post run, it was noted that pork scratching's are not available at the Jolly Farmer. (too posh)
The conversation was diverse.......... Amanda was gutted that she'd missed a tv programme called gangs which is based on two rival groups from El Salvador called gang "13" and gang "18". Complex. This is hosted by the guy from East Enders, Wayne Mitchell! But wasn't he a cult hero for Wycombe Rugby club scoring a try in the John Player Cup when Wycombe lost 48-19 to Leicester? No,clearly it was Grant Mitchell - Ross Kemp!! Although Wayne would be good on TV but in something more blue. This then lead to Duds summary of another tv programme called the perfect murder, which is based on how to commit the perfect murder which I still don't know as Duds only described a featured dead man and the size of his "old chap" Lastly Jerome will soon have access to (not sure how) and head up the England Rugby squad, first on his list of priorities would be a change of tour rules and specifically no right hand drinking enforced. Seems the world cup is in safe hands.
Next weeks run is from the Duck & Grouse (or something) in Lane End - by the pond.
