Well I had an absolutely spectacular experience last night. It involved running like a maniac with 14 others through a packed downtown Osaka looking for chalk marks along the side of the road. I signed up for the third Leap Year run with the Kinky Full Moon Hash Harriers. 
It took us an hour to run the course, and the coolest part of it was that it was designed so everyone of all speeds finished right at the same time. This was then followed by a 'circle', also known as downers, or an excuse to pound back some suds, or have them poured over your head. The group was about half foreigners and half Japanese, all incredibly fun people. 
So I'm going to give you a present. I dont like giving things that just get stored and forgotten, so we'll do this instead. Go for one single run with the local HHH. If you don't like it, consider it the physical equivalent to a bad cd on your birthday.

Please go. You don't have to be a jogger, one hash vet told me a story last night about walking one course with another guy and finishing 10 minutes after the front runners who had sprinted the whole thing. You'll meet some awesome people, hear some horribly dirty jokes and gain a new appreciation for tylenol. Seriously, the worst part of my night last night was having to skip out on the first pub of 4 so I would make the last train home. Do it!
