A Jaunt from the Blue Bell

The Blue BellThe Blue Bell Hotel and Pub, Moston
This evening I joined my new friends at Salford Harriers for a very sunny run from their club house behind the Blue Bell hotel in Moston.

Upon arriving, I was surprised by just how busy it was, it certainly seems to be a popular club. I suspect the good weather aided the good turnout too!
It was also nice, if a little worrying, to be recognised by one chap who was at the Littleborough 5k last week, though I suppose it's not that odd really, it was a fairly small, local race!

As it was my first visit, I took a conservative approach and didn't leap to join the group doing ten miles in an hour (!) and instead set off with a more gentle gaggle, though even this split into different paced chunks. Thankfully, I was able to keep pace with one of the people who actually knew where they were going, which is just as well as I had no idea whatsoever where I was and had left, amongst other things, my mobile and house keys in my friend's car! Getting split from the group would have been... eventful. It was interesting to get back and check out where I'd actually been, though I have to say with no real knowledge of the area I'm not much the wiser!

All in all, a good if gentle run and great to meet a few new faces and start to get to know people. Looking forward to the track again next Tuesday!

Hill reps tomorrow!

Ah, and in case you were at all curious as to what I did eventually end up doing with my unusually free evening last night, it will probably not come as too much of a shock to hear it involved FOOOOD!! I invented a new recipe! Shepless Pie; kind of like a Shepherds Pie, but a vegan version and with a Mediterranean flavour! Check it out here for the details!

Woop woop, well done matey! Sure you're gonna make a great Salford Harrier! \o/

That route brings back some memories, very much my neck of the woods, in fact I think you ran within about 100 metres of the house I grew up in, ahh good memories...maybe too many involving the police though...boys will be boys haha!

Have gud un'! Keep on runnin' :)

It seemed like a nice area, no evidence of your criminal past!! :-)
