My quest to be a Brew Hog

This is the year I want to do the Christian Moerlein Beer Series and be a Brew Hog!

I have signed up for the Bockfest 5K next weekend and have been reviewing the route.  I love the shirt and medal and am looking forward to running with Matt and Monica.

I also hope to sign up for the other two races very soon (maybe at Bockfest packet pickup or the race) so I can get the "Brew Hog in Training Shirt."

Running with Jody and her friends followed by a visit to the coffee shop. 

Running Rules of Thumb

This is great list from Runner's World, January 2010.  I especially like 4 and 10.

A Few Rules to Run By

Running Rules of Thumb

1. If you see a porta potty with no line, use it. Even if you don't need to.
2. If you have to ask yourself, Does this driver see me? The answer is no.
3. If you have to ask yourself, Are these shorts too short? The answer is yes.
4. 1 glazed doughnut = 2 miles
5. You rarely regret the runs you do; you almost always regret the runs you skip.
6. Not everyone who looks fast really is, and not everyone who looks slow really is.
7. Nobody has ever watched Chariots of Fire from beginning to end. Not even the people who made it.
8. You can never have too many safety pins on your gym bag.
9. Running any given route in the rain makes you feel 50 percent more hard-core than covering the same route on a sunny day.
10. If you care even a little about being called a jogger versus a runner, you're a runner.
