Centurion


Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

A post from yesterday’s Hash run.

It was a pretty special day at the Subic Bay Hash House Harriers as we celebrated our run number one thousand four hundred. Coincidentally, it was my one hundredth run with the SBH3. I know technically that doesn’t make me a Centurion, but it’s about as badass as I’ll ever be I reckon.

I was also one-third of a Hare trio and we laid a fine 7K trail if I do say so myself. Lots of my fellow Hashers seemed to agree. They especially liked the fact that we took them in a new direction out towards Easter mountain. Our previous “COVID” runs had pretty much started at the four corners intersection on the My Bitch trail. Only so many ways to go from there and it was getting kind of old for all of us I think. The feedback that was most gratifying to me was that the trail was well marked and easy to follow. No one got lost which is always my goal when I Hare.

Anyway, we were loaded down with powder and other trail marking apparatus which pretty much precluded taking pictures along the way. Sorry about that!

The trail for run #1400.
The brave souls who met at the designated location to hike that trail.
At the Hash circle, we initiated three virgins into our kennel.

In recognition of my achievement in completing 100 runs, I was awarded the coveted SBH3 vest. Oh, and we also had hats made to commemorate our 1400 runs.

The front of said vest and hat…
And the back.
Preparing for the presentation ceremony…
I was practically oozing with pride when I slipped on the vest for the very first time…
I do believe I can see at least another 100 runs in the future. One can hope at least!

Anyway, it was a good day for yours truly.

  1. A most capital day! Sincere congratulations. Joining the Hash House Harriers is easily one of the best things you’ve done for yourself since moving to the Philippines. Your fellow Hashers motivate you to constantly better yourself, and the duty of Hare-ing keeps you in the mindset of always looking for something new and inventive. Hats off and much respect. No stagnation!
