Beer Run
Today my husband and brother ran the Locust Street Beer Run. It’s a 1.8 mile run with four beer stops along the way. People take this run very seriously. My husband takes it very seriously.
They arrived about an hour early, and while they each stood around and drank beer my husband pointed to some guy wearing flip flops and said: “I need to finish before him.”
The race starts — they ran, they drank, they ran, they drank, they ran, they drank, they ran, they drank, they ran …. and just as they were heading into the corral where they turned in their numbers to the official for time/ranking purposes, who slips into the corral right ahead of my husband?
Flip Flop Guy.
They finished in 15 minutes 48 seconds. Not too bad considering they were running and drinking. Each stop was a mandatory 4 oz. beer guzzle, but my husband said he ended the race and had NINE cups, my brother had five.
I can’t belive that Flip Flop Guy actually ran 1.8 miles wearing flip flops. I tried running about 10 yards in flip flops and fell flat on my face.

Now, that is about the only kind of race that I could do!
Never heard of such a race! How many cups did your hubby have?
ROFL! How hilarious that flip flop guy finished ahead of hubby. That’s fabulous. Why did they drink so much at each stop if they wanted to beat flip flop guy?
