Run Report by Richard
A very warm and muggy evening in Lane End started out with runners Jules and Amanda, Chris and Susie, Steve and Steve, Selwyn, David, Brett and myself.
Jules took us up through ASBO central, as we passed the playground I was in last place and felt exposed to attack from the snipers on the swings and the potential ambush from the hedges. Hastily I caught up with David and Selwyn to provide the attackers a greater choice.
The run was excellent with only one moment of deliberation over the correct route, this took us into the middle of a corn field where we found a sign post doing an impression of a bus stop. I’m sure pictures were taken. Susie fell over on route but was up and running in seconds without complaint and Amanda started to questions her husband’s accuracy over how far we were from home, even asking to view the map! Mutiny in the ranks! We split off into two groups for the final leg but all arrived back within 10/15 minutes of each other, I was sweating like an Israeli bus driver.
Drinks consumed included Broadside, San Miguel, Kronie, G & T, Fosters and White Wine. Food has progressed since I last ran, we were served posh chips the size of mars bars, stacked in a way that made you want to play jenga not eat them. This raised the question as to whether they were cut from one potato or reconstituted from mash? Were they even triple fried? Well they were certainly good with salt and ketchup and we rationed them out 1.5 each. Susie described her days of childhood, having breakfast in the kitchen dressed for school but minus knickers while mum dried them on the boiler. (I hope I’ve got this correct) Anyway Susie joked that it was always a worry that she’d leave for school commando! Jules creatively added that having the milkman walk in while the girls were having breakfast and strategically placing bottles of milk on the floor would have been interesting. (Is this correct? Wednesday seems a long time ago) Jules then went on to the random content of his dreams……………………….. In future I think we should stick to crisps and nuts.
Brett very kindly said that next week he and Sarah would host a BBQ (weather permitting), I’m sure he’ll provide info on what to bring etc.
