1142: Horse of the Apocalypse

In Greek legend it is said that Pegasus carried lightning bolts for Zeus. Fortunately for us she kept them in her saddle bags during her 666th run. Pegasus and Methuselah set a nice long-ish run across at beach 7 between the sailing club and the desalination plant. There were three trails set out in a fairly predictable circular pattern across some good flat running terrain. First in was myself, closely followed by Dr. Justice and a Geordie Farie.

There were approximately 4,872 namings done as follows.

Lisa Canton : Ooh Ah Cantona
Lucia : Dolphin
Oscar : Microphone
Ella : Chip Stealer
Kirsty : Bossy Knickers
Jody : Little Bibbles Did It

The recently named Funky celebrated her 100th run for which her mum Bubbles downed a can of beer. Pegasus was presented with a certificate and a photo to celebrate her 666th run and also joined in the down down at a slightly slower pace.

The spy was Bubbles who bucketed various people for not wearing red, Dave Baker for being too happy and a couple of kids for being too noisy.

We all adjourned to the sailing club where there was finger food a plenty and some more refreshment provided.

Congratulations Pegasus and hope you hang around to reach 700.

Just to mention WELCOME BACK briefly to Flash for his 606th run, it was just like old times seeing him running pointlessly round the desert with us again - although his comments were disappointingly mellow. In good time honoured football jargon, "It's nice to know you're here.... now flash off'!" Seriously, I learnt a lot from you you have been and will be missed. All The Best.
