Resolution Run! (#540 at Madh Island)

This year I will start exercising.
This year I will met new people.
This year I will get out of my comfort zone!
This year I will stop being lazy!
This year I shall grow a beard.
This year I shall develop a beer belly!
This year I shall go for the Hash Runs once a month!
This year I shall mark a run, that'might' entitle me to earn my Hash Name!

Phew! Thats a lot of strong willed asses having some bull shit resolutions! How else do you explain an army of 60 people, of all ages and size, on a Sunday Morning, running, walking, crawling...all to earn their Beer! And yes, quiet a few of them were sporting first timers, who didnt know what to expect, but at the end of the day, vowed to make it more often!

BH3 Run #540 was pulled forward by a couple of Sundays, considering the Mumbai Marathon on the 3rd Sunday, and the Nash hash in Coorg over the long Republic Day weekend .

Rao Bungalow, is always a welcome site for the BH3 runs, for not only its close proximity, but also the fresh Sea air. Not much alterations can the Hares do with marking the run, but the Hares this year, Just Kavita, Just Tushar and Fubar, managed a great run, keeping the Hounds as much as they could off the tar roads. (Though they did claim to mark the run the day before, not sure why Kavita and Dr Porn had to remark the run on Sunday morning) The trail went through the quaint fishing village, up and along the cliff, giving an awesome view of the Arabian Sea and also the Bombay coastline, and also the Madh Fort.

Back at the Rao bungalow, at the Down Down, the Hares were the first to be iced, for the smelly usless run! Next were the 'Two timers' and those who came back to the run, still hoping to get free beer! There are no free meals! Next ofcourse were those sweet souls with new soles! Drink it down down down down! Thereafter, to be 'honored' were those who were to run the Mumbai Marathon the Sunday after that. BH3 had quiet a few runners running the full and the half marathons. Dr Porn, Bonsai, Shivaji, Kavita ,Phiwokuhle were some of them who finished their respective runs within cut off time! (and yes, BH3 also had set up three aid stations to assist all the runners, and help them with bananas, salt, water, face sprays to cool them off, medicated sprays and ice for cramps, pains etc...and ofcourse Horny Yeti and his band of Angels, Vidhi,Sanaya, fartysharty and Ninja...distributing Free Hugs!)

Time for the Anthem, and biryani, and take the ferry back to main land, and end of yet another great run and wonderful Sunday.

On On to the Next Run #541... till then Cheers!
