We went on the family hash run this evening. I can't remember if I have explained what hash running is on this blog. In a nutshell, the organisers set the course about an hour before the run and drop little bits of paper on the trail for you to follow. The trail winds it's way through the little bits of jungle that remain in Balikpapan and across interesting landscapes. Usually the hash is an all out run around the course to see who can finish first but the family hash is a bit gentler and you can walk if you want to.
We have been going to the hash run as a family for the last five weeks. Mr Pickle had to be carried for the first one we went on and cried quite alot that he was tired when he was walking. We almost thought that we would give this up as a bad job.
The next week his royal pickleness was keen to go along to see 'My Liesbeth' so we gave in with him promising that he would walk at least half of the course. He did just that. Over the last few weeks he has built up his walking to the point that he walked the whole way tonight.
Tonight we walked up hills, across big holes and through a little bit of mud. We are very proud of our little hash runner and we only had to bribe him on the home stretch with the promise of 'double fizzy' (two sprites) if he kept going. He can't drink that much so mummy helped him with his reward.
