Mankini


I was out lunchtime with some the Fianaial Director running and he was

> The template for a hash run is loosely based on hare hunting. One or more
> hashers (the 'hares') lay out a running trail, that the rest of the club
> (pack or 'hounds') follows. The trail may include false trails (check-backs
> or CB), short cuts (or splits), breaks, and checks (a marking on the trail
> that requires the pack to search the area to discover the correct direction
> of the trail. These features are designed to keep the pack together
> regardless of fitness levels or running speed.
