Laughs and legends.


Cantering Clare, MILF Mullarkey, Trotting Tracey, the BG and myself, still glowing from our first ever 5K decided to take part in this weekends 5K charity event. By committing to another 5 K so quickly after the first we were convinced, a) we could manage it and b) we were now athletes ! We gathered in the local football filled with all the other walkers, runners, cyclists and over our compulsory Jaffa Cake decided the first hill, about 200m into the run, was far too severe to actual run up, so we would use it as our warm up and run the rest. This was all very well but we forgot how excited we get when someone shout "Go" and shot off like women at an Arnott's Sale. Moments later I realised ,in shock, that I was actually running up a hill and that it was actually alright...so on we went. Yet again the BG, Trotting and myself took up the front row with the eminently sensible Cantering Clare and MILF Mullarkey taking up the rear ( unfortunate term!)
Now, I could be wrong but I reckon you get a good idea of peoples sexual preferences by their running methods. There are those who set off like a firecracker, tire quickly and have to slow right down to finish. Personally I am more of a Labrador than a Greyhound and like to stick to a pace I can manage with the odd breather. Trotting Tracey likes a spurt of speed followed by a slow down and repeats this until she finishes. Cantering Clare and MILF Mullarkey know exactly what they are capable of and keep a steady pace till the end.
Of course no 5K would be complete without Gentle Gary. Cantering Clare advised me however, that following her attendance at Boxercise with him during the week his name should change to Gruesome Gary and she entertained us with stories of his wing man Sadistic Steve...this Boxercise sounds interesting...alot of sweating, hitting, aching and stretching...sounds fun !
Now Gentle Gary ( back to the sex topic) sets off like lightening and goes at it hammer and tongs until he gets over the line ! What a man. On this occasion, as is usual for him, he was in pole position ( Formula One not sexual terminology!) but in a charitable act made the decision to let another older man overtake him !!! Who does that ??? He slowed up and cheered the man to victory, happily coming second. Whatever about other mothers, his mother KMac gave birth to a legend !
Needless to say he was keen to be seen with me, still hopeful for more than I am prepared to offer, so I duly obliged and he and the Silver Fox formed the bookends to our girlie photo. I have taken the liberty of cutting the rest of them out of the shot for my blog, as I know Gentle Gary is looking for something for his mantelpiece...
