'Hashtory of the EH3'

"EH3 . . . Our Hash History"

   Many of the old Hashers from the SJH3 found themselves unable to attend Saturday events, or were just plain tired of spending Saturday after Saturday with the San Jose Hash House Harriers, instead of with their families, mistresses, or work.   For quite awhile the conversation of starting a new Monday Hash had been bouncing around.  Going back to the ways of the original Monday night group was on the minds of many who still yearned to Hash.

On January 10th of 2005, urged on by the support of several "old-timers", Millard "Fancy Pants" Farmer finally set the first run at Bar Los Amigos in Santa Ana (the Hash group had yet to be named).  Fifteen hashers showed up for this first run, most from the past and with plenty of recognizable smiles.  It was hard to believe that some of these faces were still in Costa Rica, let alone, still alive. But was this just to be a one-time Reunion of the early years of the SJH3, or was this the makings of a second running Hash House Harrier Chapter here in Costa Rica?  Only the coming year would tell!

       Our first year was full of runs on the west side of San Jose and saw the same old faces week after week.  Few newcomers had joined our new Hash, but overall, we were satisfied with being such an exclusive Hash.  At first our "Runs" should have been called "walks", but as the number of runs accumulated, slowly but surely the group was beginning to pick up the pace and most of us were getting back into the habit of running.  Though we were not known as a "Mens" Hash, the sightings of women on our trails was slim, but that did not dowse our spirits, nor slow the flow of beer, the down downs, and our limited ability of creating new song.   ON ON
