Hashing
June 6th, 2007
..:.. 
Molly introduced me to the world of the Hash House Harriers, a truly bizarre running group that has clubs all over the world. To hash is to run a course that some sadistic mofo marks out beforehand on the sidewalk in chalk. We ran for over almost an hour, often having to backtrack if we missed a marker or took a wrong turn. The hash, being an invention of the British, concludes with a beer session–at a bar or in a park or at someone’s apartment–and often has a beer stop midway. Since we started late, we never got to see any of our fellow harriers, but the run was damn good and took us through the less manicured sections of the city.
