After spending the day driving to Edinburgh, Glasgow and back, I was looking forward to exercising my legs. As the hare was Numskull, ably aided by his trusty bike I reckoned that the trail was to be on the cycle paths, with long spaces between flour. I was not let down.
The circle was called to order and a scribe was called for. Canna be Arsed very kindly volunteered my services with a push in the back in to the circle, so much for friends!!
Returnee after 12 years, 2 runs, with no handle was introduced. Pre run down down was awarded to the birthday boy?? Farmer, 60 years young, and does not look a year over 70. I hope I am still running when I reach that age.
The hare then described the run. Not a long one, not a short one, and no rules. Nothing new then from Numskull? There was a special H trail laid especially for Hippo and Canna be Arsed, who wanted to run an extra 5 miles.
We then set off, predictably the trail was on the bicycle paths. The H trail was found and that was the last we saw of the two marathoners until the end. They even missed the beer stop, hope you both had a good run.
Even though the run was on the cycle paths, the hare kept the pack together by very long back checks or disappearing trail, or even with the help of Jess. Allegedly Stainless tried to use her as a football but got her two legs tangled up with Jess’s four - Stainless lost!!. After she managed to get back to her feet, 5 minutes later, she was escorted back to the cars and driven home by Pigiron. I had been off somewhere looking for flour, when this happened, running and calling, until the beer check. Then it was back to the cars, for beer and stories. Stainless’ attempt at ‘keepie up’ with Jess was relayed to all at the circle.
Down Downs were given to:
Numskull for supplying beer at 34 pence a bottle at the beer stop!
Penguin, while running, complaining that it would be dark soon. Wrong, it was still light for the circle.
Thrupenny Bits and Hillary for leaving their clothes at the Roper’s Toga party
Numskull for Hareing
NB Pigiron sent the following e-mail round the next day.
Stainless has a beautiful blackeye, a nasty strained shoulder and a buggered knee. After a bad night I took her to A&E where she was x-rayed until she glowed. No obvious lasting damage, but she will not be able to play rugby for two weeks...the photo-shoots for Runners World and Vogue are obviously on hold.
She is seriously pissed off at not being able to play her tennis league matches or run for a while. Just as well we didn't pay our subs in advance Harley! Ha!
Thanks to the person who emailed me to enquire after m'wife's condition.
