beer for every mile
This guy is nuts haha, he ran half a marathon and drank a beer for every mile. He eventually states- "beer is a very good thing for a run of six miles or less."

I have a very much love/hate relationship with running. If I'm in a bad mood, nothing will make me feel as good as a long exhausting run. I don't really see it as "running away" from my problems, but rather exhausting my mind and body enough to not think about them for a bit. I'm in no way shape or form a good runner. In HS I could barely run a mile. It wasn't until college until I started running and pushing myself. That's the thing about running, you can come up with a million reasons to stop, or to keep going and that is pretty much the only variable, it's so much more mental than it is physical. I know lots of people who are in a much better physical shape than me say that they can't run for more than 5 minutes.
Human body is actually made for long distance runs. So this spring I decided to start running more. I decided I was going to work my way up to a 5k. Which doesn't seem like much to someone who runs on regular basis, but before this the longest I've ran EVER was probably 2 miles. It took me probably 2 months of not very consistent running(damn work schedule) to make it. I found out that I hit a couple of blocks when I run, but as long as I keep going through them they go away and I get the so called 2 wind. Does this happen to everybody? I have no clue.
I am just now realizing that this was a totally pointless post. Oh well, I'm off to bed...
