Running to the Bar and Back?

PrincessLaundry

Overseas Paul mentioned to me about a place called McGuires which is near us. This is a family owned pub. After googling for them to find out information on this place, I found out that they have a running club!

They do 5 miles every Tuesday. I can do 3 miles, so I don't know about signing up. I guess after doing 10 runs, they give you an official McGuires shirt and you get to run over to the bar and have runner's club drinks. :laugh: It actually sounds like something fun to do, but I will have to find something to do with my kiddos.

Is anyone part of a running club like this? What do you suggest and think?

Sounds fun! I bet you can do a shorter route at first and then you have a great goal and motivation to work up to 5 miles!!! Just check the cals on those beers.

LOL Ya, I won't be drinking at all! But I like the idea of seeing what "beginners" do...Humm...It does seem like fun!!!

I McGuire's!! I always look for that big green bus when I am in those parts!
Except it probably wouldn't be good to eat their food nowadays with my new lifestyle. :frown:
The running club sounds neat though!

Yes, there is an international running club (actually "a drinking club with a running problem") called the Hash House Harriers. It can be a lot of fun, but their irreverent sense of humor is not for everyone. If this sounds interesting you might want to check out if there is a group in your area. They often have walker-friendly trails if you aren't up for a longer run. :drinker:

OMG I clicked through the map...and found a website for their local chapter with the motto, "A Drinking Club with a Running Problem!" What a crack up! Their screen names have nothing on us! Here are a few of the cleaner ones:

You must live in Pensacola...lol. I spent 5 months there at Corry Station. The food at Mcguires is so great. But, anyhow, I think you should do it. If you cant make the whole 5 running I bet there are others that walk part of it:)
