drunk running anyone?

So here's my story and I'm sticking to it: Last night I had quite a few beers. I started off with an Avery Brewing's The Czar Imperial Stout. Then moved on to a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA. From there about 5 Sierra Nevada Pale Ales. As you can guess I was thoroughly wasted. The time is now 1:00 AM. Most would go to sleep. Not I. I decided to go out for a run and what a pleasant run it was. I ran about 4 miles at what was a faster pace than I ever ran sober. Maybe even a minute or two faster. It was beautiful out. A little chilly because I live on a shore island. No cars on the road i ran except a cop car that passed by and I guess didn't think I was a threat to mysel or anyone else. Went home and ate a bowl of mushroom soup and some pringles, had super sex with my wife, and went to sleep. Thought my legs would be killing me this morning. But for a slight twinge of pain I'm doing quite fine. Which brings me to the topic: Has anyone else ever ran drunk before?

Re: drunk running anyone?
Haha,
those are both classic stories!
I've never ran drunk (yet)!

I ran on adrenlin once and beat my PR by a minute.

Re: drunk running anyone?
The Alcoholic Mile seems like my type of drinking game...combining my two favorite things, lol

I myself have never run extremely far drunk...I'm in college, and we have this tradition where every year, in November, we all jump in the campus lake. It's my favorite event ever...but it's freezing. I was wasted when I did it this year, and we got out and basically sprinted clear across campus (probably like 3/4 of a mile, our campus is huge) It was a good time, but I doubt I'd be able to do that sober.

I've also run just from the bus stop to my apartment, because it was freezing out and I wanted to be inside...but no serious running while drunk ever, lol...


My friend, when he is hungover, he gets up and goes for a 3-4 mile run, then comes back, eats showers and says he feels so much better...I told him I'd try it next time I get hungover, but usually I don't, so I haven't had a chance to try it myself.

Down Down and On On! Hashers get it done!

The hardest part for me is laughing so hard when I run.(hash
runs). Hashers are drinkers with a running problem!

Re: drunk running anyone?
okay, I have done it too...
it was after my husband, who then was my boyfriend... came home from the bar.. I wanted "some" and he fell asleep...
(That always used to make me mad... now I am getting older, its fine... but then...you know?)
he fell asleep, so I decided to go running...
no bra...
just a t shirt, and pajama pants...
I amazed myself, that it wasnt the "worst" run, I ever had...small town, luckly nobody saw me...
(I understand the not quite drunk, not sober, not quite hungover state...... I have ran a few of those...) you know when you get SOO drunk the night before, you wake up drunk, still.... I have ran in that state... oddly, I have had worse runs on nice days, where I was sober as a judge...
(maybe thats just me)

(I am glad to know I am not the only one....)

Re: drunk running anyone?
i had to run from the police after throwing a rock through some a-hole's window because he stole the tapper from my friend's party.

got away, but still had to pay $50 for the window or they would turn me in.

i don't plan to drunk run this way ever again.

Re: drunk running anyone?
We just did the 'Beer Mile' last weekend.... chug a beer, run a ¼ mile, repeat 4 times. Penalty laps for puking.

Only one mile. Wankers. You should do the Beer Marathon. Now that would be something to watch. Drink a beer after every mile. Last one standing wins.
