A Christmas cracker of a run

The dogwalkers and landlubbers went one way while the rest of us leapt aboard a CityCat for a quick trip across the river. From the West End terminal we wended on a scenic route through Highgate Hill and back to the campus (where we met up - coincidentally - with old friend LFC.)

A sudden afternoon storm had passed by the time we set off (which is not what happened on a previous occasion in the same area.) But it did leave Superhacker very little time to set the run - and congratulations to her for putting down as much chalk and flour as she did! We mustered at a familiar spot between the tennis courts for some great chili and accompaniments. Many thanks to Superhacker for the run/walk and meal!




This week we also have to mention a 20th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to Miss Demeanour and Shockjock!

The four stages of life for males:
1. You believe in Santa Claus
2. You don't believe in Santa Claus
3. You become Santa Claus
4. You look like Santa Claus.

Since next Sunday is Christmas Day we agreed in the circle to defer our next run till Tuesday 27th - it's a public holiday and a good time to use up leftovers. So expect some green ham and turkey, plus some soggy trifle....

Next run details
When: Tuesday 27th December, 5 pm - a Christmas Recovery Run
Where: Wahminda Park (a map!)
Hares: Haughty will make an attempt to set a run; Potluck will cater (please bring some leftovers to share)

On, on!
