One of my 2014 running goals was to complete a beer mile. I decided to do one today in order to celebrate the end of the school year. You know, because nothing says celebration like running and beer and the possibility of hurling.
I tried to rope some people in to join me, but either I don't have cool enough friends, or the friends that I do have just don't share my idea of a good celebration. I was by myself, then.
Stevie came along with me to document the absurdity that is a beer mile.
The stats:
Location: Cooper River track, 4:30pm
Beer of choice: Budweiser
Time: 10:45
Some notes:
I had eaten a big breakfast to minimize the slosh effect that one encounters when imbibing 48oz of liquid, but may have overdone it. I was still relatively full by this afternoon, and the carbonation just about killed me. Thankfully I never puked, otherwise I would have incurred a penalty lap.
There were a lot of other people out on the track, including kids, and I felt a little weird blatantly chugging beer in front of them. I guess the Cooper has seen worse.
10:45 is a horrible time in the world of the beer mile, but I was never very good at chugging beer. I went to a college without a Greek system and hung out with radio and theater nerds the whole time. Let's just say the need to learn how never arose.
And here's a video I made in order to give my readers the full experience:
Would I recommend a beer mile? Hell yes. Any readers out there want to race me? Let me know!

Nicely done! I def do not want to race you but give you props for getting it done! 10:45 is pretty impressive in my book!

ReplyDeleteYou think this is appropriate behavior for a teacher. Breaking the law by drinking an open container of alcohol in public and putting it on the internet. You should be reported.
