Run 947 - 05 Nov 2006
Run 947 - Viejo Camino de Malaga - Alhaurin Marks 7.5
Sunday 5th Nov
Hares: Semi Retard/Spittoon
Thanks to my mums (Streaky) fantastic navigational skills we managed to render ourselves lost in Alhaurin Grande on route to my second ever Hash.
With a little luck and a helpful oval shaped Spaniard I found myself surrounded by a healthy, youthful and whitey committee of people that claim they were not a running club, they were a drinking club with a running problem…We formed a circle, words and laughter exchanged and onward we ran.
The run overall rated as a 7.5 was indeed enjoyed by most, mainly road running than off course, the views were amazing as well as the pickings of fruit along the way, false trails and check backs were plenty – myself managing to encounter each one (someone’s a little sore today!).
About 45mins into the run I found myself in a familiar state of exhaustion, the only sound of my heart beat and fading foot steps to be heard, my vision blurred and to top it off wild hallucinations – a mirage of a great house, featuring a feast of croutons smothered in cream cheese toped with a cherry tomato, garlic salami ham, cheese and pineapple sticks sided by an array of dips all complemented by crisps, popcorn, sugar sprinkled sponge cakes and mouth watering sliced oranges mixed with a fruit I’ve not meet before… and to really add salt to a wound – ice cold beer and water! If only it was true….. But then two words saved me, those magical words, BEER STOP! (special thanks to Semi Retard for the use of his house)
In all I had a fantastic day, On On was Chinese and wine was to taste, shall we not mention spring rolls any time soon hey.
Looking forward to Seeing you all at the next Hash.
