Welcome Back Hashers, current and prospective

The blog will be rebooting... maybe some facelifts, but mostly to actually be utilized for communicating and communicating.

For example, did you know we meet on Thursdays at 7 pm to run?  Most of you must not know.. but we do!

See ya out there.

On-On!!!

Sherpa Hash

Gutsy move laying flour in a city.  As they say, "Si ve algo, diga algo". 

We managed to avoid the building corners sprayed with waste and fake-tough guys looking to take down the Wrecking-Ball.

Unfortunately Sherpa avoided ice and cold beer.  There are photos of the aftermath, but you have to join us in person to see those.

River to Sea 2015

President's Cup 2015

Breaking News! We fielded a full team this year. Though we were almost defeated by heavy traffic entering Millburn. Bob and Joshua showed up with 15 minutes to spare! Our team took 15th place out of 23 teams. If it were not for the Garden State Track Club fielding 6 separate teams we'd look pretty good.

Congrats to JB on a new PR!

Better than a medal

Woods and Lakes 5K/10K... sorry it interfered with Clinton.

I was cruising along, 3rd overall Male runner when I heard footsteps coming up on me at mile 5.5.... and it was Bob.  Sonofbeeeeeeeep

2015 MK5K - Results!

A great day to run on April 11, 2015. Dave cajoled Mike and Clem into running and they all came away with hardware. They guy in the pink shirt was also a former PHHS track guy. The shirt is one of the remaining "green flamingo" cross country shirts designed and pressed by Dave oh so long ago.

18;28 Mike finished 4th overall, 2d in age
20:36 Dave finished 14th overall, 3d in age
26:38 Clem finished much faster than he thought he would! 90th, 2d in age.

Marching On

We hope that this is the last Thursday evening run in the snow! The mounds at 400 Morris are dwarfing the crew. 

March 2015 presents an element of danger. Seems that six of us paired off into teams to see which team could run the most miles in March. This is a bad idea and we all know it. Stay tuned for tales of torn flesh, aching cartilage, and general kvetching.

New Year Run

This undaunted stalwart group braved the 15 degree temps, arguably the coldest day of the year so far. We later retreated to a local diner and hashed out our plans for 2015. Best wishes to all in our extended group in their search for personal greatness and interpersonal achievement. Whatever the heck that means. See you at Freezing Cold Hash.

Oh boy.

The Rookie Hash

 

Kudos to  "Just Zach " for laying his first hash ! He treated us to some steep climbs and most importantly 3 Beer Checks ! Especially that last beer check , where we tried to entice two hikers from New York to climb up on top of a boulder with us and have a beer, then most of us kinda slid/fell off the boulder, but Jogfather decided it was a good place to flex his beer muscles, grab a tree branch, (thanks to Gonad ) and do pull-ups ....

The Rookie Hash was  "Polly" approved .... Now give me a F@#$&n cracker !



                                          

The Beer Mile

Several members of your favorite running club recently gathered at an undisclosed location somewhere in Morris County to inaugurate what is likely to become an annual shitshow highlight of the Highlands Hashers social schedule: The Beer Mile.

For reasons public safety, and to avoid multiple misdemeanor and several felony charges, the following is only a brief recap of events:

- Almost no one arrived on time.  This applies to participants as well as fans.
- Sean was immediately disqualified as he chose to run a beer mile while drinking apple juice, which allegedly had alcohol in it, but thankfully was gluten-free.
- Gene got louder with every lap, which made watching the event very fun.  Unfortunately for Gene, he also got slower with every lap.
- Jeff refused to be photographed.  Until beer three.
- Dave only drank (and ran) slowly due to "the foam...all in my chest."  Either that or the Lyme Disease he is currently fighting, which led to the quote of the day, courtesy of avid beer mile fan Bob S: "Your doctor said you could have a few beers over the weekend, she didn't mean four in ten minutes."
- JB rounded out the field by shattering his projected finish time of "half an hour", finishing the race with an epic 200m charge to almost catch Dave for third place.

A good time for all involved, perhaps another to come during holiday season?  Stay tuned...

Top of Mt Elbert

Two VERY Highlands Hashers.  Top of Mt Elbert, 14,439 feet, highest spot in Colorado!

Beer Near



    On July 13th , ten Highlands Hashers braved Amazon rainforest humidity in the town of Morristown , for their first urban hash in quite some time, thanks to the hare "Road Scholar".After a deceptive chalk talk by the hare , we were quickly treated to our longest false trail(s) in Highlands Hashers history , somebody said 1.7 miles. That will teach us to pay attention during the chalk talk. So after an un-scheduled beer check back at the start, we quickly found the "true" trail through the heart of Morristown. We were treated to beer checks at "Danny's Pub", "Tavern off the Green" , "Dublin Pub" and  "The Famished Frog" .  Overall it was a fun day and fun hash , oh yeah there was some sort of soccer thing going on that day in each bar, go figure .....

    Things we learned that day .... Trusting Road Scholar is not a good idea .... Humidity is bad ..... Rude talking parrots are cool ..... Doing shots at every bar not a very good idea ..... Yelling R-U in a bar not the best thing to do ..... Giving just Zach a shot, and having the bartender come over and ask if he is ok, then hand us a bucket , Priceless ....  Doing a track workout after a hash , not a good idea ..... Climbing the fence to get on the track for said workout , VERY bad idea .... Lastly we learned that hashers are everywhere, while waiting to cross a street , a fellow hasher from another club spotted us, grabbed his hash stuff and joined us for circle ....just to bad I dont know who he was .....  ON-ON 





True Trail through the Green



June Hash Update !

Poor Bastards they have no idea

Someone asked what "Shiggy" meant, and without missing a beat, our hare Jeff Boy-Ar-Dee said "Your gonna find out in 10 seconds" . Boy did we ! Not two minutes into the hash we were treated to mud and thick briars ! All in all it was a straight up fun hash, with plenty of beer , however by the end , yes we all did look like raw hamburger, screaming in the shower that night Im sure was what everyone was doing. Thanks to Boy-Ar-Dee for inviting us back to his house for pizza , (oh yeah sorry about the hammock) and , thanks for being a good sport Just Zach, wait until you really get named !  Next hash is July 13th , our hare is Road Scholar and he is hinting at an urban/bar crawl hash ....should be interesting .
Until the next hash !  ON-ON

One more poke at the Bear

We did not shoot a video this year. Sorry. But a guy that I ran with for quite a while did have a GoPro on his chest. His video does capture a significant amount of the shiggy that was the trail that day. I'm the slow guy in green about 7 min in.

Boston Results

Congratulations to Jeff. 3:09:14 up at Boston this year. Now everyone has signed up for Lehigh. Thanks for the inspiration. See you there!
