2010 Polar Bear Races

Brian and Dave made it down to Asbury Park in the midst of an all out blizzard. Brian's truck performed heroically, getting us there in time to join 100 other lost souls. The race had never been cancelled in 47 years! They did shorten the distance to 3 miles to allow participants to head home a little early. Dave placed 11 (10th overall male) and Brian placed 15th (took 3d in the 30-39 age group.) Pictured here are the questionable ones after plunging into the Atlantic for a quick dip and dash back to the convention hall.

Episode 43 - 2010 Hashathon



Congratulations to John and Brian on their awards! They looked pretty sweet. Hopefully the trail footage will remind us next year to wear more appropriate footwear... or to pack more Advil.

Had to leave some footage on the cutting room floor. Enjoy.

Sunday, November 14, 2010

I've had worse

Dave's left ankle after Hashathon. See the "day 66" video from last
year! http://highlandshashers.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Oh, my God. That was really fun, but really difficult.

I can't wait until next year to do it again.

Prediction Night

 

Each member was to predict the time that s/he (well, okay - there were no she's, but if ...) would finish the broken shin 5 mile loop. We all put our times to paper and placed them in a bag. Because of Veronica's gracious timing, Dave was able to partake and lead off. Starting at one minute intervals were tall Bob, John, Brian, older Bob, Gene, Jeff, and much later because of commuting logistics, Joshua. tall Bob passed Dave at mile 1, and that seriously messed with his head. Dave's head was once again seriously messed with when lo and behold, here comes older Bob down the wrong street out of nowhere. Some discussion ensued. Paces were not kept. Up comes John. There goes Bob. John starts discussion with Dave, seriously messing with his cadence. John goes forth. Here comes Brian running the course backwards without his headlamp. The headlamp was tossed when ripping his hat off... and so forth his ear. Older Bob headed for lights of Denville. Tall Bob "Ace of Pace" won the prediction night challenge - 25 seconds off pace. Gene followed with 42 seconds off pace. Joshua was 1:08 off. Dave 1:22 (though seriously messed with). Jeff 2:31. John 3:11. Brian and older Bob.... were good sports.

Fun night.

Episode 41 - Steamtown Marathon

We didn't take the camera on the course and the battery ran low anyway... still you get the idea.

Hashoween Recon Run - advice... wear long pants or tall socks

Back to Basics



We get back to our roots with an early morning run on the Sussex Trail, the weekend before Steamtown Marathon for Dave, and I test my foot on the longest run I've done in 7 weeks.

I think John took 11 minutes off of his 1/2 marathon PR and I cut 4:57 off of mine.

Dave, well, he's just too fast already to make that kind of progress.

Nice seeing the gents out for beer afterwards. Mmmm, potato pancakes....

1LT Mark Dooley 5k



Been a busy few days, but wanted to get this out...

Last weekend Katie and I hit the road to race in the LT Mark Dooley 5k "Race of Remembrance" in Wilmington, VT. The race is in honor of my friend Mark, who was killed in Iraq on September 19th, 2005, while serving with the Vermont National Guard. The race also honors all of the fallen of Vermont, and their families.

It was a great day with many old friends, and the Hashers were represented two years in a row. Everyone missed John this year, but were a little relieved I didn't bring up "the ringer" again! However, the Dance did travel north again....more on that....much later.

Please visit www.markdooley5k.com for more information about the race, which will be held annually.

Also, take time to visit the Vermont Fallen Families Global War on Terror Memorial at vtfallenfamilies.org, which will be dedicated on Veterans Day.

Results of the race can be found at www.coolrunning.com/results/10/vt/Sep19_LtMark_set1.shtml

(Sorry, I couldn't get the links to work)

Busy Labor Day Weekend for the Hashers!

The Labor Day Hash was a great time, with Brian laying a pretty "Shiggy Trail" which by the time we got to the beer check left us a little beat up, but loving it ! (See above picture ) Afterwards we were treated to a great BBQ at Brian and Katie's home, and of course a few beers..... Oh and by the way, Dave I left your sneakers in my driveway, Im not touching them after Englishman drank a beer out of them......

On September 4th, Highland Hasher Sean Gavor ran 20:03 at the Warinanco Park 5K XC series, finishing 7th overall. Then he decided to run the Woodbridge 10K race on September 5th running 39:49 , finishing 20th overall.... He did by the way take gold both days in his age group!
Sean missing a hash run , because of a football draft, will most certainly get you called out in the next circle, be prepared......

On a side note..... Highland Hasher friend Ben Clarke defended his title for the second straight year at the Verona Labor Day 5K , winning in 16:00.61 .... Geez man you couldnt break 16? ... only kidding , great job! I hope we can get you out on the next hash run!

Upcoming however we have a fairly large group heading out to the Liberty Half-Marathon on the 26th, so come hang with us! Then afterwards we are heading to Germania Park for Oktoberfest !

Seriously folks, if your looking for a fun running group to hang with, come join us !

Episode 39 - 2010 Bell Run


My apologies to Bob. Our videographers didn't take enough footage.

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Dixie Dash Hash

I had to post something because that photo is awful. As discussed two weeks ago the upcoming Thursday night run will be a hash run. For those of you without a clue as to what a hash run is see links below for history.Essentially it is a form of Hares and Hounds. The Hare sets a trail with markings and the Hounds follow. You are the Hounds. From what I've read, it does not mean we drink to excess (so lets get that straight away), and I note that some clubs drink little at all.

As it will be (a) new for most people and (b) getting dark sooner than later I will be setting a 1/2 dead and 1/2 live trail. We will still meet at 400 Morris. The chalk talk will begin around 7:05/10 or so. Then I'm off. The course will be about 2.5 to 3 miles on either road or really easy trail surface. 1.5 to 2 miles will be on trickier terrain. I am planning on one beer check. If Gene can navigate the clutch I'll assign him to either the beer check or the trail end. My biggest concern is that I get the pack in before dark. After dark, on-on continues at Adams.

The emphasis shall be on fun and enjoyment.

Please e-mail me if you 1) willingly want to do the hash 2) don't want to hash but would really just prefer to run with someone.

Turkey "WHOMP" 50K

Long story short, about 4 miles into the 50K, I came out of the woods and into an open field, when to my surprise, I twisted my ankle in a rut, or hole. I had a feeling at the time it might be bad, because I kinda felt it snap. I stopped and walked/jogged for a bit, then I went back into the race hoping I could "run it out". About 13 miles into the race, the pain was just to much, so rather then try for another 18 miles, I bagged the race and headed back to the tent for ice and a cold beer....
The pain was bad all night, so the next morning we headed off to the doctor. The doctor , right off the bat said, no work for you the rest of the week, and he had some concern about redness spreading up my leg, which he was afraid might be an infection. So, he prescribed some drugs, and sent me off to get X-Rays. The X-Rays, thankfully came back negative (Whew), but unfortunately I cant drink any beer while on the medication (bleh). I have to go back to the doctors tomorrow, so for now its 20 minutes ON/OFF
with ice on the ankle, and 20 minutes ON/OFF with a heat compress on the leg. After the swelling goes down, if there is still bad pain, I might have to go for an MRI..... but thats a story for another day.
I'll keep everyone posted

Woodbridge Run For Pizza


Sean, Dave, & Gene. On one of the hottest days of the year we ran well. Dave placed 5th (25:06), Gene 7th (25:16), and Sean 10th (26:06). Hardware was abundant, but the handcrafted beer at the JJ Bitting brew pub was really good. Pizza was delicious. (photo by Veronica) results

Appalachian Trail Run


I am having great trouble with Windows Movie Maker. The video documenting this run is edited, but won't publish for some unknown reason... hang in there. On Saturday, July 3, we ran (mostly) from Sunrise Mountain to High Point, up to the top of the monument, and back. about 20 miles in around 5 hours. Gene and Dave did see a big black bear. Special kudos to Ron and Sean for driving so darn far for so much trail. Map is here.

Update from Vermont

Well its done a 3:17:29 today at the Vermont City Marathon, and I'm Boston bound ! Weather conditions were good, we gotlucky with overcast skies. I ran a smart race, with a 1:10 banked by mile 21, which I used through the last 5 miles. So Dave, time to put that training schedule together, and join me. Boston registration opens September 1st.....

Now I have to try and drive 6 hours home with sore legs, but first Im getting a nice big greasy burger and fries....maybe a beer.... man my feet hurt. Garmin Results for the marathon here

Tonite's run

Well, even if I didn't have evening plans tonite, I am not sure I would have made it. The trains were running slow, and on the wrong side of the tracks as they diverted all of the west bound trains onto the east bound tracks.

Not sure if you guys were rained out, but looking forward to the next one.

Anyone want to run the White Meadow Lake 5K course this weekend? I timed myself the other day - 27:40. Should be an easy time to improve upon.

later,

A great ending to a good week

Today the Highlands Hashers took on the 1st Annual Super-Hero Half-Marathon in Morris Township. Upon arriving the only person up to the task was Brian, with John and Gene looking and feeling pretty tired after fighting a cold for the past few days, Dave couldn't even make the trip today because he was to sick to move. After parking about 4 miles from the start, We picked up our registration ( Brian fought with the registration people for 10 minutes trying to pick-up Daves T-Shirt, I guess they lost Dave's registration somewhere, but Brian prevailed ! So Dave we have your T-Shirt! ) The pre-race warm-up consisted of a 4 mile walk back to the car, some aspirin, and some 5 hour energy.
Once the race began, adrenaline took over (or maybe the aspirin) and everyone wound up exceding their expectations, in fact I overheard John and Brian saying they liked the Half-Marathon distance, and it was nice to pick people off in the closing miles ! Everyone had strong finishes including our Highlands Hasher friend Ron Pawlikowski who is fresh off a Boston Marathon finish. Brian and John both established PR's today.

On another Bright Note ... The Highlands Hashers would like to welcome to the fold Joshua , who is now running with us on Thursday nights, and hung around with us for "Gatorade" afterwards at our local watering hole . I am sorry to report though, the most interesting man was stolen during the Cinco De Mayo celebration .

UPCOMING ..... Lets not forget about the Run for Jordan 5K on June 13th in Hopatcong.... Afterwards I'll be hosting a kegger and BBQ for all those that participated... Lastly, on Sunday May 23rd, we will be doing a trail run up in the Allamuchy Mountains (roughly 10 miles)northern area trails. 8AM start. We would love to see a few more on this trail run, so let me know if your coming so we know how much "Gatorade" we will need for after the run, and I can give you details.

Super-Hero Half-Marathon Results

Gene Mizzoni 20th 1:28:37 6:45 Pace
Ron Pawlikowski 137th 1:41:44 7:45 Pace
John Englishman 158th 1:43:01 7:51 Pace
Brian James 195th 1:45:23 8:02 Pace

Encouragement

A rare thing happened to me during my run today; a motorist slowed down and offered me an encouraging word. Most distance runners are used to the sideways looks, the sarcastic comments, and the Forrest Gump jokes, but what we aren't used to is fans. The gentleman in the gray saturn may or may not be a runner or a running fan, but the simple act of rolling down his window and telling me to keep on pushing up the hill was enough to buoy me through the rest of my run.

And this got me thinking: Who are our fans? Who encourages us the most? So on this day, May 9th, Mother's Day, lets thank Mom for the kind words and the gentle encouragements. It cannot be easy to be the mother of a runner - with all the cooking, laundering of dirty running clothes, and countless hours spent standing around just to watch us run for a couple of minutes as we rush by in short shorts. And I'm especially grateful for my Mom who still comes out and supports me and indulges my habit even though I'm now a grown man and no longer a skinny high school kid.

Happy Mothers Day.

Lincoln Tunnel Challenge

It rained heavily, but the tunnel was dry. The start took place just outside the south tunnel on the Jersey side. We ran to see daylight in New York and did a hairpin turn back into the tunnel. The last half mile to the finish was tough. Chip time had me at 18:59.79 - so I'll take it. First sub 19 in over 20 years. 31st overall 7th in age group. T-shirt was nice too. Shoes are still drying out. - DAve

Some math

This topic came up over Smithwyck's. For the record, I'm on day 343 - running a minimum of 1 mile on days that I'm is either sick or injured in some way. So far the weekly mileage is averaging 37.7 miles and the daily average is 5.4. Many articles warn against "streaking," but here it seems to be paying off in terms of motivation. For years I've been mediocre, completing lots of marathons, but on 4 to 5 day training weeks and precious little total mileage. 3 weeks left to bump up the weekly avg to an even 38. No age jokes please. - Dave

5 mile loop... oh about 45 minutes give or take. Adult beverages.... oh about 2.75 hours longer. I think we can now handicap this thing. Anywhooo.

We were joined by Sean Gavor for an easy 12 miler around town. Sean has adopted the whole minimalist approach to running and here demonstrates his Feelmax 2mm thick barely there wonder slippers. It was about 30 degrees farenheit. We discussed our annual goals and ambitions, some too audacious for publication. We drank Sam Adam's Winter Lager.

1st Thursday Night Club Run

5 Miles easy. Friends don't let friends run in the dark, in unfamiliar territory, and into steel pipe gates. Dave is still limping along afterward. Hopefully run #280 on Friday will be okay. Wait till you see what we do to our new inductees. That's you Englishman! and Perry!

Friday, January 1, 2010

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

If you got this far we know you have an interest. These are answers to some of the frequent e-mail inquiries received:

1. What do I have to do to join the Highlands Hashers?

 Just show up. 99% of life is just showing up.

2. Is there any money involved? There are no club fees at this time. At most, you might purchase a membership in USATF and spend some money at a local pub. We do group orders for singlets/t-shirts/sweatshirts. That's pretty much it.

3. Do I have to run fast?
No. We have members at various fitness levels. On Thursday evenings we try to stick together at around 8:30 pace or sometimes break into two groups. One fast. One less fast and more talkative. For those not up to 5 miles we do offer 3 miles and 4.5 loops that start and finish at the same location.

4. Do I have to hash? No. It is fun though.

5. Do I have to drink beer? No. We respect everyone's personal decisions regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
