For fitness?
Back over this way, that leads to a black lung and a fat gut!

You can start here:

After your run, you can check in again. Is that fair? :P
Cheers!

Hi [b]mileage[/b]
I just replied to your PM so you'll have a feel for the quality of my post here, right now.
[quote]..."(HHH)" For fitness?...[/quote]
I know what you mean.
[i]HHH[/i] and fitness [b]can[/b] be seen as an oxymoron.
If you've perused the HHH link that [b]Roy[/b] posted, you'll get a flavour of what it's all about. It's difficult to "explain" in a few lines. Great source of bawdy lyrics. Time to eat now and hope to meet you soon, in the flesh.
:D

Looks like it could be a hell of a lot of fun once I sweated off the initial 30 pounds....:D

Cheers Roy,
Not sure my black lung will handle that run, but it definately sounds like a hoot!
Still, a leasurely stroll through the scenery sounds enticing.
Earn that Bintang! 8)

True enough, the Ubud chapter of the Bali Hash has often been called a running club with a drinking problem. But seriously, each member approaches the Hash in their own style, and once indoctrinated, each gets a “Hash name” which occasionally can be rather brutal! Some will run the entire course which is laid out each week in various areas of Bali, (usually within no more than an hour drive from Ubud), some will run some parts, and walk the rest, and some just walk the entire course. At the end, most will hang around for the meeting, awards and partaking of the Bintang, but some just drink water, juice, or soda.
Naughty Nuri’s Warung, which is directly opposite the Neka Museum, ( located a little north and west of central Ubud), serves as the Hash headquarters. If interested in the Hash, stop by there and ask for co-owner Brian to ask any questions and to pick up a copy of that week’s Hash sheet. “On on” as they say!

Hashing is great.
another great sport that has a lot of similar aspects (social, cross cultural and welcoming, all-levels, all ages, co-ed) is Ultimate (aka Ultimate frisbee). ...and apparently they play in Ubud (though i can't vouch for this myself).

HHH is not about running it is a forum for people to meet and enjoy life and its experiences. The running or in many cases walking is just the excuse to meet. Like the London marathod some are serious and some do it for fun.
It has been an entry for me to meet people in many countries of the world and I reccommend it to anyone wishing to meet new people in a new place anywhere. Have fun.

I was so out of shape when I was in Bali I couldnt believe some of the older gents sweating out the alchohol in their systems, it was 100proof!!! Fun event for everyone, something for everyone, even if you dont run or walk the course, no shame, well mabey a little, but the beer&food&fit women in short running shorts will get you over that! Enjoy!

Unless I'm badly mistaken, the first HHH in Bali originated in Ubud. Search for stuff about Victor Mason.

And drink, sing bawdy songs, help frightened Balinese villagers through which the latest [i]Hash Run[/i] went.
[quote]..the words Hash House and Hashing rings a totally different bell with me..[/quote]
Completely understandable to me. Some run, some walk, some crawl, some stay at the before or after meeting point and drink (or smoke), in anticipation.
In the end,
"[i]You can run, but you can't hide[/i]".
:D

Victor Mason,gotta love him, if you never met him, hurry and do so,,,,I was lucky, it was a delight to listen to Victor's stories.... hard to put Victor into a catagory or words,,,, if your in Bali try to be a nuries or somewhere he visits ,set back and enjoy..... He's hilarious....
