Run Report by Jules
For the third run of the season we all set out from The Chequers at 6:45 sharp. The main group included David, Selwyn, Michael, Fred (and Lulu the Lab), Susi, Amanda, Kate, John, Steve, Chris and Myself (spoof looser). Heather also set off with us - but on a brisk walk!
Chris had planned a reasonably short route as the weather was cold and the general consensus is for shorter runs as we all get our fitness levels up. This involved passing through the centre of Turville and then past the Frog in Skirmett before climbing into Adams Wood (which was traversed at a tangent!). Here we split as the main group headed back downhill directly to the Pub and Chris, Jules, Kate and I took a slightly longer route back (about 5 minutes extra). For the majority the run was about 45 minutes and proved very enjoyable!
Refreshments included a couple of bowls of chips - against Kate’s better judgement as she announced that ordering Chips was the thin edge of the wedge as we would soon be ordering meals and, before long, she could see us giving up on the running and becoming a Wednesday Supper Club!! – NOT IN THIS DECADE KATE!! Conversation included the state of the housing market and "pond life" in Dewsbury.
Having decided for the previous couple of weeks that the Run Report would go to the last person to arrive in the Car Park the rules were unceremoniously amended when it emerged that Fred had not joined us in the Pub – so we would "Spoof" for it. The results of that game will not have escaped your notice!!
Next week (tomorrow) we are running from the Church Car Park at Hughenden manor – 7:00 start should be possible if it is not overcast.
