Skinnychino Hash is an offshoot of the Brisbane Men's Hash House Harriers, started back in the early 1990s when a group of hashers decided to meet every Saturday morning to do a long run in preparation for marathons and half marathons that they were participating in at the time. The run was followed up with a cup of coffee and breakfast, hence the name Skinnychino, which is short for Cappucino made with skim milk.
Soon after, wives and girlfriends came along to either run, walk, or just have breakfast, and the group grew.
Nowadays there is more walking than running done and the spirit of hash has been diluted somewhat, a bit like a quarter strength skinny latte! Efforts will be made to engender the Hash spirit again in the near future.
There are 14 of set runs now from different coffee shops around Brisbane, no trails are set and the runs range in length from 10 to 13 kilometres.
This morning's run was the Bulimba Run from Cafe Citrus in Oxford Street, Bulimba.
A big group attended with the runners being:
Genitals (fresh from the Noosa Triathlon)
Scruffy
Royal Screw
Megadrive
Craft (shortcutter)
Nuts (shortcutter)
Skiddy (shortcutter)
All shortcutters are recovering from injuries or sickness or both!
There was a big group of walkers both fast and slow, and Cafe Citrus was flat out coping, as most of the cafes are with this mob.
Mug of the week was Nuts, who has been accident prone of late.
Nominated by Scruffy.
