WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1998 Run Start: So. east corner of the Fashion Valley Shopping Center Parking lot, Mission Valley Hares: Drag Along Date & Save My Stool A light crowd gathered around the towering LT. O'WHORA in the 'still under construction' back corner of the mall's parking lot (not exactly the most scenic of run starts...but that's NOT a whine ;)...) Took some work to find Hash Cash RAT TRAP, hidden by a few harriers playing 'body guards'. As 6:30 drew near, and no hares were present, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT and myself found our way through the maze in the nearby Macy's to the restrooms, but had a BITCH of a time finding our way back! (having absolutely NOTHING to do with the sale currently under way...honest!) ANYWAY... Once the hares showed up, they were off again! As HUSTLER whistled for the pack to be off, we started West around the shopping center, under, over and around the skywalk, finding our way back to Friars Rd. Up the dreaded hill, into the neighborhood above for a scenic view of the valley. Then 'it' happened...the dirt/rock hill...oh, shit. This Harriette KNEW she would fall, and she did. Saving my ankle (hey, guys! I just started running again!!) I received a 'nice' big bruise on my 'assets' instead. Continuing on, with the help of ICE BOX and G-MONOR, we found our way back to the start. Apparantly the hares had no end planned, but took the suggestion of HYDRANT HUMPER to end at the park across from the Padre Inn. Once everyone had driven over and had their fill of chicken pies and mashed potatoes, down-downs ensued... - Hustler, still carrying around that BEAUTIFUL hash-shit! - Nice Assets, Announcements: Hare Ball, new website, name tags - Welcome Backs! PITB, Free Hand Job, Hemmorroid, - First Timer, Mike! - New Member, Pain in the Boner - Save My Stool, for something... (sorry!) - Moist Muffin, Betty 'flood', I mean FORD hash crimes... - Lt. O'Whora, prancing around Betty Ford in scraps of red material (yikes!) We did a little DRAG ALONG DATE bashing for not having a co-hare, flour, B-van, beer/soda/food/munchies, or run end until an hour before the run starts! (He later confided that "his problem started a couple of weeks ago"...I'm not touching THAT one.) - Black Bart, 'married' to the SDMHarriettes - Free Hand Job, doing a 'free hand job' on the beer so she didn't have to stop at the grocery store on the way home! - High and Tight, lost and found, collected a cool new watch for her son, LONG DROP! - HASH SHIT went to Save My Stool for bailing out the hopeless DRAG ALONG DATE with this run. GOOD JOB HARES, and nice recovery. On on! Nice Assets (_$_)
