That Big Man race looks sooo fun, too bad there's not something like that for the ladies. Maybe I should start my own. Probably there wouldn't be any takers, I can't quite see women getting into the "Size Matters" thing, hm, unless maybe if it's bra size. 

I'm with Willa, what could be more fun than a run with "Death" in it? I've already sent in the paperwork for the Bataan Memorial Death March in White Sands, NM next spring. I think a bunch of us were drinking when we thought it up, so, you know, that makes it a promise.

I've wanted to do the Marathon du Medoc ever since I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=734ihjuMwUg&feature=related, OMG, the giant wine bottle cruising along about 45 sec into the video cracks me up every time. Besides, I have decent experience running marathons with a hangover, so I need to move up to running one while inebriated.

My apologies if I didn't quite make the 65% drinking content rule. I'm working on it.

You sound like another good Beer Mile candidate.  You can educate me on how much biochem I've forgotten.

I forgot one...The Krispy Kreme Challenge (in North Carolina).  Two miles, twelve donuts, 2 more miles.  I seriously am curious how I would do.  Registration is open for Feb 5.  I have to think about this.

The course record is 24:31.  Sheesh.

Must you retain your krispy kremes all the way to the finish? I've had 8 in a day, and that made me feel ill.

 I beleive there are several categories but in the competiton division you  must "keep 'em down". Not sure what the penalty is but my guess is that you can't win if you uke.

I think I would rather try and tackle a 100 miler next weekend than run that one. Too tough for me.

 

Keeping down 4 nasty beers while running hard was easier than I thought.  It was getting them down there that presented a challenge.  I would imagine it may be the same with krispy cremes.

 

Of course 4 =/= 12....

 You wouldn't want to waste good beer on a beer mile. Where's the enjoyment.

My biggest issue with the dougnuts is all that sugar. I get queasy thinking about it and I like sweets. I think a 3 mile race with 12 beers (1 per quarter) would be better than a dozen fat pills. Hell, just watching people run straight after the 10th beer would be great entertainment. Sort like Wipeout. All you get at the KKC is puking.

Interjection! Hallelujah!

What is nasty ?

 

(sitting here hoping we get to drink "Old Style", PBR, Blatz, Old Milwaukee or similar fine beer)

 

 

 

 

Miller Genuine Draft.  Finding beer of high enough alcohol content in a can is problematic and limits options.
