108th Run Report 4th January: Centrepoint and Yakkity Yak in the Run of the Year – Avalon Beach

Not much of a run report this month as the scribe was depending on the co-scribe to write the run report but it was not to be again. Centrepoint did a wonderful job finding as much bush/non road tracks for the first run of the year.

It was a cloudy day with showers threatening the run when the valiant pack started showing up at the Avalon Beach parking lot. Fortunately the showers held off and the runners and walkers headed off shortly after the start time of 4:00. On the day, Jungle Jim was the Trail Master and as Jim is an engineer, he obviously thought the run needed something so he re-engineered our run by adding a check. The hares were waiting by the track where Barrenjoey Road had to be crossed and we were puzzled by the number of people coming up Etival Street instead of through the bush. Thanks Jim.

The caring hares also waited for the runners at the top of the little set of stairs at Whale Beach Road. It was hear that one runner, Hand Job, made some comment about this little hill and does she have a wonderful command of 4 letter words.

The last little hill, Bangalley Head gave the runners some terrific views before heading back to the bucket. Back at the parking lot, the pack looked for but could not find the Hare’s car so instead of assuming that the bucket was back at 35 Morella, even after being told the bucket was to be held at 35 Morella Road, they decided to have the bucket at the parking lot drinking warm beer. Dumb.

The only other thing of note the scribe can report is that the hares had a couple of very satisfying beers and a very refreshing shower.

As the circle was going on, YY and CP were doing an excellent job cooking the hamburger patties. The scribe was looking forward to having some patties left over to feed him for the next week, but the pack ate every single one of them. Bugger.

The scribe is looking forward to seeing everyone next month.

Running Shark Hash Prayer (uttered before the Down Downs)

    Our lager,
     Which comes from Heaven 
     Hallowed be thy aim.

     Thy will be drunk,
     In the Down Downs, and also in the tavern.

     Give us this day our foamy head,
     And forgive us all our spillages,
     As we forgive those who spill against us.

     And lead us not into deprivation,
     But deliver us from hangovers.

     For thine is the ale,
     the bitter and the lager.

     Forever and ever
     On On
