A2K Running Club

RP? Did you get Santa's autograph? Were the reindeer running with him? Or did you end up passing him?

no, he was booking.

i tried distracting him with an offer of milk and cookies after the race, but he never broke stride...

The two of you are lookin' good.

yay!

Rhys pulls ahead at the finish!

Love it...

The Stone Ham Running and Malt Beverage Society (AKA George, Rhys &
Nigel) are registered for The Rás na hÉireann 5K race on March 16th.

This year we may even train for it.

I haven't been running lately. I caught some kind of intestinal bug so
bouncing up and down seemed a really bad idea. My system had settled
so I went out for a slow jog yesterday. As there was still some ice and snow
about, I was very careful. I am happy to report no accidents of any kind.

Nigel's GF will probably be running as well. She did track in high school
which means Rhys and I will only see her at the start and the finish.

I got another jog in yesterday.

Hobbes wrote that man's life in the state of nature was "nasty, brutish and
short". So was my jog.

That reminds me; I need to pay for entries for that race.

What happens if you don't pay the entry fee? Do they chase you down the race route until they catch you if you run the race anyways?

You can run, but your time isn't tracked and they don't give you a tee shirt. And you're not supposed to take a finisher medal. The finisher medals double as bottle openers. This is why we run on St. Paddy's Day.

The coveted bottle opener would be quite useful on St. Paddy's Day!

They forgot to mention dogs.
Dogs are a triple-threat.
You can fall over them, be bitten by them or step in their poop.

i often have to dodge people who are too busy staring at their portable devices to watch where the eff they're walking...

Dog poop. Mother nature's landmines!

by us, goose poop is more of an issue...

Yeah, just about any green space near a river or pond around here has the
same problem. They're Canada geese, what are they doing here?

I haven't seen any avian passports.
