No, don’t worry: S.H.I.T.S. is an acronym and stands for “Saturday Hash in the Summer“.

No, you really don’t have to worry: Hash has nothing to do with smoking.  Or cookies, for that matter.

It’s short for a worldwide social running club, the Hash House Harriers. A foot (or feet) is its logo.  Runners follow a trail marked in chalk or flour and when they find the right way to run they shout “on on“.

Cee was asking for feet for her Black&White Photo Challenge.  Feet she got.  More feet can be found here.

When I hear trail I cannot help but think of paths marked with flour (or chalk, and occasionally completely different stuff) followed by mad people whom I happen to call friends, running, walking, skipping, crawling … following the “hash” and calling “on on”. An arrow with lines is called “true trail” and if you find this you know you are on the right track, and beer (or water) won’t be too far away.
