Lulu Runs

CR drinks and hangover!

I arrived at about 6.30 and after asking a few groups of people if they were Coolrunners and getting some very strange looks, I spotted Mr T and then the Owl. Chatted to Owl, Omni and Scottie for a while before Mr Lulu aka Wine Trail Runner arrived. After that we mixed and mingled with Amjan, Orunner,Jenruns, Colin and Don Juan.... I was dazzled by Mr G's buckle and Mr Lulu was accosted by the Blue Dog.. turns out they know each from when Mr Lulu was in the fire service 20 years ago.

As I type this Mr Lulu has given me a page from that exciting international journal "FIRE NEWS" Jan 1983. This document records Blue Dog's performance at the 1982 Fire Brigade NSW Athletic Carnival..1st in the 100m in 12.21... 2nd in the 110 hurdles, 1st in the 200m.. but hang on what's this... 2nd in the 400 metres.. pipped at the post by... Mr Lulu Perhaps the old rivalry can be re-ignited if we can persuade Mr Lulu to join Striders.

I managed to escape without being signed up to any long and tiring races with just an agreement to do a C2S training run with the Owl and Jen, which I'm looking forward to.

Don Juan accused me of being a chardonnay socialist which I find particularly offensive as I never drink Chardy.. dreadful stuff most of it.. but he redeemed himself by buying me my preferred tipple.. Riesling... we owe you one at the next drinks.Mr Lulu decided it was time to take me home when I confessed to only having eaten 2 bits of toast all day and by 10pm 3 glasses of wine were having their effect.Felt a bit shabby this morning and I can't believe that I have a hangover on 3 glasses of wine....3 bottles I could understand, and that would be a good effort, but three glasses.. obviously more training and more attention to nutrition is required to improve performance.
