Can't Get Enough of that Wonderful Duff
Ah, Wisconsin. Refiner of cheese. Keeper of Brett Favre. Could it ever do any more for our great nation? Oh, that would be a yes.
You see, until now, beer and exercise haven't been synonymous outside the game of golf, but thanks to the folks in Suamico, Wisconsin, the two have been combined into a brilliant and lucrative idea: a street race for charity.
Sunday marked the 19th Annual Beer Belly Two – a two-mile street race laced with beer stops instead of water stops (because who needs hydration while running on a hot summer day). Local charities were smart in combining the two, peeling many men off of their recliners and into sneakers for a good cause - or beer. Probably for beer. And since nothing says family fun like dad's beer belly, kids are welcome to run, too.
The event has raised over $350,000 since its inaugural race, which is nice. But don't lose sight of what's really important, and that's making enough time in your life for quality drinking.

I can only wonder what David Ortiz and his Wisconsin-born wife think of all this. My guess: They're pissed they're missing out on all the fun.
There's a 5k beer run/walk in Milwaukee, too. Yes, I know, shocking.
Google the hashers sometime and see how long people have been drinking and running. Or try the Santa Speedo Run. Or play softball in a co-ed rec league. All of these are ways I've regularly drank and exercised simultaneously.
The Cocaine Triathalon in Columbia starts July 5th.
Oh my... a real beer run... that's hysterical. By the way, I just wanted to tell you, when you write new blog posts, go over to BeTheRef.com and post a link to your story, and hopefully get a few extra readers for your blog.
So I take it no one has ever heard of the beer mile?
Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?
Can someone help me find it?
Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.
Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.
Thanks
