Will Run For Beer

January 18, 2012

Well, we finally got out. Out of the state. Out of the city. Out for a run. Indoors. So…in for a run? 5 of us formed a team to run in the Smuttynose Palooza/to run for beer/to run indoors/to get free beer. Probably the best race we’ve done so far. Urban Dictionary defines Palooza as “an all-out crazy party; partying at one place with a ton of people like there’s no tomorrow.” I would certainly not say it was crazy or an all-out party but what else could we possibly have been doing on a random Saturday in January? Exactly. So it was extra fun seeing how there were zero other options on the table AND it counts as a blog-worthy adventure. Did I mention it was indoors on a track? Good thing none of us ran the entire 1/2 marathon alone because 68 laps is a lot of laps to run alone. So for 5 of us, it was a win all around. It was a nice drive, we saw some snow, LEFT the snow in New Hampshire (where it can stay all winter for all I care) and had some fun with friends. Oh yeah, and got some exercise in order to earn our free beer. FREE. Or, $25 if you count the entry fee we paid to get our exercise and shirts.
