Running & Beering

(download)
Sunday was super awesome.  Why, you ask?  Well, because D and I spent the afternoon running with a bunch of cool new pals.  But lest you roll your eyes at what you must be imagining as a "super-healthy-vomit-worthy-athletic-fest," I should mention that while there was a fair share of running, there was also beer.  A LOT of beer.  And bars.  A lot of bars.  And it was fun...a lot of fun.  We joined Claire, of Will Run For Beer fame in "Will Run For Beer:  the Fourquel."  D and I wanted to meet other runners who weren't all stuffy and super-serious, but who were still really passionate about running.  And we're very happy to report that everyone was very friendly and passionate and most importantly, really adept at drinking beers.  We all met at the appropriate time of 3 p.m., at the Brooklyn Bridge Subway station, and within three minutes we were at Reade Street Pub, debating on which beer would best reward this super difficult .4m first leg.  We then continued through Tribeca, the Village, and up along the West Side Highway, finally ending our 4.5m journey at The Frying Pan.  (There were several other stops along the way, fear not.) The day was fun and sweaty, and we look forward to the "Fifthquel."
