GFH3 Run #1,671; 24 November 2012

Another beautifully sunshiny day, though perhaps a skosh brisk.  INDY and I hosted, because we want people to get sick of us, and he and Hasher Flasher set the runners' trail whilst again I set the walkers'.  We basically swapped trails from Thursday, so runners went on the McLean-ier parts of Pimmit Creek.  The walkers, theoretically, would have walked along the creek on a more northerly route, but they blew right past a back-check (distracted, perhaps, by the rather modernistic bright blue sculpture of a chiropracticly-challenged horse in a neighbor's front yard) and lost trail completely, cutting across someone's lawn and eventually making it back to the house.

Walkers Away!

About 24 people and no dogs (sadness) set out on the trails.  No idea who finished in front.  Air Horn and the Ole Fud started last, though -- how wonderful that they came!  I was also very excited to have Bobby at the house for the first time; he seemed to take it much more in stride, though.

I made chicken casserole and chickpea casserole to re-fuel everyone, and got rid of more salad than I'd thought I would.  As per, the cookies were fresh from the oven.  We had a very mixed assortment of beer and offered up polyglot wines, including the official hash white, Running Hare, which tastes like you'd think a Maryland wine would.

Oral Advocate at the clipboard again. Great to see everyone; thanks for coming!
