oh and re. Joss, I don't reckon he supped that much Guinness during his racing days - I reckon the reality is he probably had two pints down the Ritsons bar at the end of a hard week's work as a treat and that was probably it.

Hmmm, now you mention it I was wondering when I'd start to see the benefit of this JN diet. I thought this extra eleven stone I've put on in the last six months was just fuel for the medium and long races but I'm starting to doubt its credentials...Quote:

I strongly believe there isn't many other good feelings that come close to doing a long day on the fells, then getting stuck into your first pint of decent ale....it is pure satisfaction :)
Dont feel left out, ask if you can join them for a pint or two.Quote:

Actually I think its a bit of a problem.
A few times now whilst on a hard run, the beer in my bottle has fizzed up and cause it to leak into my race sack.
:p

well said! Drinking ale after runs is an entirely different matter :)Quote:

And as for Hashing:
The Constitution of the Hash House Harriers is recorded on a club registration card dated 1950:
To promote physical fitness among our members
To get rid of weekend hangovers
To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
yes I had a problem with Alcohol after the skyline, I dropped a case of it going in to the village hall:(Quote:
