Watch this space for further details of the next run which is 95% likely to take place on our usual first Saturday of the month.

I'm currently in the UK and finishing off a course of IV antibiotic therapy in a Cambridge Hospital. I'm fighting fit (it's been a bit of a boondoggle really) and due to check out in the next few days, so hopefully I'll be back so that we can stick with the schedule of first Saturday of the month. I would have shifted it to the second Saturday for safety, but Ting is having a bit of a party at Wrong Way in the evening of Saturday 4th July (to which I'm sure everyone is invited!).

So, it's likely to be a town run starting from Padaeng Mansion car park (opposite Wrong Way cafe) at 4pm. No doubt I'll do a pick up run from N-Joy as well at 3:30pm. I won't have time to check out an out-of-town-run and I might just do a 'live hare' run around town - that'll be a first.

Newcomers and returnees especially welcome. It isn't as strenuous as you might think!

WATCH THIS SPACE (THIS THREAD) IN CASE OF ANY LATE CHANGES. I'll confirm by Tuesday 30th June.

"Flash Git"

Hashing is social running and there have been hash clubs all over the world since its 1930s origins in Kuala Lumpur. The running bit is not taken seriously and beer is drunk to oil the social side. Ubon Hash, in line with the Ubon environment is laid back and only a few experienced hashers and wanabee enthusiasts put in a few spurts of running. The rest walk. Non-running social members who like to drink beer rather than take any exercise are welcome provided they pay the hash fee and don't drink all the beer while the rest of us are out on trail!

A trail is laid, typically in white powder like flower/chalk and the pack has to find the trail, which keeps the front runners busy while the walkers catch up. After the run the beer ice-boxes are opened and the socialising begins. We usually go back for some more beer and maybe some food around town in the early evening, and some more beer later in the evening, but that is entirely optional on your part!

Don't be a stay at home wuss - get out there with us and discover the sides of Ubon you would not normally uncover. It's dead cheap (100B) for your first run and inexpensive (250B) thereafter; even cheaper for Thais and under-17's - and that includes free beer after, and often during, the run.

Looking forward to my annual Hash ! Get well soon.

Younger.

Sorry, not wanting to disturb your topic, but I truly hope you didn't catch the Staphylococcus Aureus one?

The IV Antibiotic brought back some odd memories. Just curios. Realty wanted to join in for a long time, but my artificial knee joint says no to it.

Enjoy it.
