Ladies, it's time to start training...

Because I know how much we all love our running and our booze.

one of my co-workers is fascinated with the beer mile. He can go under 6:00 for a mile now - but thinks with training, he can go sub 6:00 for the beer mile.

I told him it could be a team building event, I'll supply the beer

Since I'm allergic I'm out for the beer mile. Was reading an article about a 3000 vodka steeplechase. Now that I'd like to try!

My thoughts exactly.  I like running, and I love beer, but

This is one of those things, like the Krispy Kreme Challenge, that sounds like a good idea until you actually get into the logistics of the event.

Okay, I checked the official rules (LOL)

You have to chug the beer, then run a 400. Lather rinse repeat for three more beers.

So it's like chugging a beer, cranking a 400, then you get a 15ish second "recovery" while you chug another beer.

Suddenly this sounds a bit more reasonable.
