Ouch. That’s all I can think right now, as my calves, knees, and quads are still recovering from the 4 (and for some, 6) miler that Bryan and Suz put together this past Saturday. We met on the Art Museum steps bright and early and took off down the river, over the South St. bridge and continued straight up Spruce and Baltimore till we hit Dock St. We were the most law-abiding runners ever seen in Philly—nobody complained at stopping for red lights (and even a few green ones). We still made it there in time to put a pitcher or two away before the 6-mile runners arrived. Pizza and beer were abundant, although almost everybody put away a few cups of H2O before partaking in the other refreshments.
Thanks again to Bryan and Suz, Mike and Rosemarie at Dock St., and all of the beer-enthused runners who came out. Next year promises to bring more running (and more runners!). It was definitely worth doing, and made for a suitable return to a healthy lifestyle put on hold for two week of solid beering. I was thinking about posting a Beer Week wrap-up, but there’s no way to do it justice other than to say, "You really had to be there." If you missed it, go ahead and mark off March on your 2009 calendars. We hope to see a lot of you before then! Cheers, —Andrew
