Street-O chez Judy
Judy had a fun variation on a regular Score course: we had to write the first letter of the street name on the lamppost at each control point. If the post had more than one street sign, we had to write the first letter of each. And we had to get the *correct* lamppost, as marked on the map.
And there was a special control at #28 - a letterbox filled with wrapped chocolates. There was no space on the control card to mark, so we had to take a chocolate and carry it with us to the finish, for an extra 5 points.
I tucked mine inside my sock, so I had a warm, slightly flattened caramel chew at the end.
I ran 90% of the course - the first real test of the hip - and took guilt-free walking breaks when I needed them. I tried to keep it slow and light, not pushing anything, and I was pleased at the level of fitness I'd managed to retain. Came in early - not wanting to tempt fate too much.

Tues am: still no phoneline (could be up to 3 days), but the hip hasn't complained about last night. Yipee! Appt with the Magician tonight.

That does sound like a fun one. Love the chocolate idea.
Mmmm. Bet that chocolate tasted good at the end!
Good news to be running a bit again.
no one told me there were chockies! Should I take up orienteering then? Bad luck though that my brain shuts down when I run too hard for too long. And long it would be.
