Like everyone’s favourite Power Ranger, Green Ranger (obviously), Team Panther Dash joined the party late and are perhaps overenthusiastically trying to catch up.
Last week the training started, and so far everything has gone surprisingly well. We started by going solo with 4 runs along the Brighton coast, culminating in a group 10.5 mile run pass the West Pier and down to Saltdean on Sunday. We were enjoying the spectacle of Brighton on a sunny morning, when disaster almost struck…perhaps distracted by the crazy golf, Lee nearly decapitated an Italian child on a push scooter as the bambino recklessly careered from behind a blind spot, thankfully disaster was avoided and Lee was able to offer some considered contraception advice to the awestruck mother (“AY CURUMBA PANTEHERO’S!”).
Urban runners don’t say hello to you like our nice rural runner friends do on the downs. We tallied 2/12 who acknowledged us (I mean ‘Hello! We’re the Panthers!’). Although we did get into a chat with a nice man about the marathon, but that ended a bit weirdly as we were all running at the same speed so we couldn’t let the conversation end naturally, we just ran out of things to say and had to run side by side in awkward silence, mile after mile.
Pain and bakery update:
Dan: behind knees. Also made flapjacks – 150g unsalted butter, 250g oats, 150g golden syrup, mix on hob then bake for 25 minutes – 8/10, going to pimp these bad boys with some mixed fruit this week.
Lee: Uninjured
Simon: Buttock
See figure 1.
Now all we need is for Simon to assign us all Thundercat names and ideally insert our faces into their characters.....
HOOOOOOO!
