Prediction Night

 

Each member was to predict the time that s/he (well, okay - there were no she's, but if ...) would finish the broken shin 5 mile loop. We all put our times to paper and placed them in a bag. Because of Veronica's gracious timing, Dave was able to partake and lead off. Starting at one minute intervals were tall Bob, John, Brian, older Bob, Gene, Jeff, and much later because of commuting logistics, Joshua. tall Bob passed Dave at mile 1, and that seriously messed with his head. Dave's head was once again seriously messed with when lo and behold, here comes older Bob down the wrong street out of nowhere. Some discussion ensued. Paces were not kept. Up comes John. There goes Bob. John starts discussion with Dave, seriously messing with his cadence. John goes forth. Here comes Brian running the course backwards without his headlamp. The headlamp was tossed when ripping his hat off... and so forth his ear. Older Bob headed for lights of Denville. Tall Bob "Ace of Pace" won the prediction night challenge - 25 seconds off pace. Gene followed with 42 seconds off pace. Joshua was 1:08 off. Dave 1:22 (though seriously messed with). Jeff 2:31. John 3:11. Brian and older Bob.... were good sports.

Fun night.

Episode 41 - Steamtown Marathon

We didn't take the camera on the course and the battery ran low anyway... still you get the idea.

Hashoween Recon Run - advice... wear long pants or tall socks

Back to Basics



We get back to our roots with an early morning run on the Sussex Trail, the weekend before Steamtown Marathon for Dave, and I test my foot on the longest run I've done in 7 weeks.

I dug out some old video tape from 18 years ago, and low and behold there were some Highland Hashers on it, and some Parsippany Hills Alumni also. I hope you have a nice laugh....Enjoy !
