Social running and the Hash

There are social smokers, and there are social drinkers, well, if they are not social, then probably they're just alcoholics, that's why I always organize an event or come up with a motive to gather people around and get drunk!Recently I have discovered social running! It's just like running, but there are actual real people you can talk with, secretly compete with, and not feel crazy about having couple of voices in your head- some trying to convince you to stop that crazy-sweaty-nonsense, while others coming up with arguments to persuade you to continue burning that fatty from your arse, mostly the argument IS your arse!Social running is fun, though it messes up with your breathing while running.I've also discovered social running while socially drinking. Or socially drinking while running! I haven't decided yet. It's called the Hash House Harriers, and it's kind of a running club, though a really good friend of mine would call it just another sect.I found out about The Hash back in China, where they organized it every Saturday. About a month ago, I've heard that it's also organized in Chisinau, though only once every two weeks. It's amazing to know(thanks to almighty wikipedia and this website), that Hash originated in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, and now it's organized all over the world.Basically, it works like this: a group of people gather at a certain time and day. They drive outside of the city (usually) and run, following the trail that 2 people of the group set earlier that day. The fun part is that there are beer stops, the less fun part is that sometimes the beer is not properly hidden and it gets stolen:)I have never imagined having two of my favorite activities in the world united in one, and being socially accepted, and even applauded. But again, Im one lucky girl, that apparently is pretty good at running and drinking:) PS: This week I have changed my running location. Im doing laps around the Valea Morilor lake. Anyone, who wants to join me for runs- you're most welcome!
