Lakeside Hash House Harriers The drinking club with a running problem
Run 1044, 23 June 2004 Hare: Boomerang & SBD Venue: 4/39 Horne Street, Elsternwick
It was a very cold and windy day the kind of day that only Melbourne can provide on a regular basis and Shaggy was thinking ‘is this really the day to return to Hash?’. But Hashers are not wimps, the weather doesn’t worry them, also the promise of Boomer’s cooking and SBD run was enough to draw most out on such a horrible night.
The run was predictably dark and cold, and though I ran it all, I have no idea where it went. The pack of runners pretty much stayed together with Rolf and Shaggy bringing up the rear (what good-looking rears at that!!!) and some visitors in the lead calling away like true ‘hashers’ (good on yous visitors). As for the walkers, we lost them very early on, I think they short-cutted, which is a feat in itself, as it meant they knew where they were!!!! Shame, the walkers missed the drink stop, the hot (yes hot) mulled wine was very nice.
Boomer’s feast didn’t disappoint (well, some complained because it was high on carbs, which after 5.30 is a nutritional no-no) but for me, having lots of food, a variety of food and a table to rest your plate on, well that’s hasher heaven.
I will try and report the circle as accurately as possible, but after all the carbs, the warmth of Boomer’s hospitality and a couple of beers, I can’t remember much.
