2446 KILKENNY reigns out

2446 Kilkenny at Inglewood

LAST WEEK’S RUN
Kilkenny at Inglewood

The usual motley crowd of 40/50 athletic guys assembled on a windy Monday evening in Inglewood.

Skid called us to order one minute before 6.00pm. He explained that Kilkenny’s trail, laid on the previous day, had been washed-out by rain, but Phantom and Sir Knob had just re-laid the trail so that we could not get lost. We were waved away by a smiling Kilkenny, with the promise of pizza after the Run.

Stewie was the Walkers’ (Wankers?) honorary guide and, with map in hand we ran and strolled boldly towards Beaufort Street. I don’t remember anything of the Run, since I was a Walker, but the Walkers marvelled at the Inglewood Street Market, and the abundance of food and drink. It felt a bit like Christmas!

Most of us got back to the ON ON before 7.00pm, then quickly covered-up to cope with a stiff breeze and a below average temperature. Pizza arrived shortly afterwards, so someone made the executive decision that we should eat before the ON-ON, principally because it was a cool evening, and the pizza wouldn’t stay hot for very long.

The ON-ON was the usual serious, quiet, respectful affair, except that Moses and Botak were accused of talking in the Circle when, in truth, Moses was only listening. Kilkenny didn’t win any prizes for the event, but he was still smiling when we all made our weary way home at about 8.30pm.
