18. Actually R*N a hash

First let me start with that I am not officially crossing this one off yet. I gave it a shot and just wanna talk about it.

If you aren't familiar with hashing(and no, it's not drugs or potatoes), allow me to explain a little. Basically its a drinking group with a running problem. Though, in my case, I do more walking than running. And really, it's more drinking than anything else.

The easiest way to describe it to someone who has never heard of it, is a scavenger hunt for beer. We follow marks of flour/chalk through various parts of town to find stops of beer that may be hidden. We sing a lot of goofy(read:offensive) songs and have a perverse sense of humor and all round good time.

We have been apart of this group for about 4 years now and I never run. Which is why I've added this item to the list. So for the Cinco de Mayo trail (It's on the 5th this year!) I gave it a go. And I ran about 1/3 of the trail. It mostly just shocked folks. I might have been able to run more, had we not run that morning and then I proceed to take my 4 beagles(yes, I am crazy) on a mile-ish walk around my neighborhood. So by 5pm, the start of the hash, my legs didn't want to cooperate with me so well.

We are hashing in Cincy this weekend and there are rumors of a shorter trail. I think I will give it shot again, though the hills down there can be brutal

I think this is one of the smaller hills in Cincy.
