I honestly believe running marathons and other exaggerated physical exercice can be far more damaging to your health than having a tripel every night. You might cause permanent damage to muscles and joints, collapse and die in the streets or, at worst, get hit by a car and end up like Stephen Hawking.

If I can get out there for SFBW, perhaps we can go for a training run and re-hydration afterward ;-)Bryan Kolesarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063224838193829628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-52056440305625841062009-01-09T09:20:00.000-08:002009-01-09T09:20:00.000-08:00Just did the Folsom To Sacramento Marathon last ye...Just did the Folsom To Sacramento Marathon last year. A whole new world of pain, but in a good way. I was in the same boat a few years ago although more with Doughnuts and Panda Express at the time. I was able to drop about 25 pounds just by stepping up the work-out. That and any good race has a beer tent. Try the Muddy Buddy in San Jose or the Monterey Half Marathon. Endorphins and beer is like an herbal speedball.

This fitness keeps me in form and chases a rising belly. Fortunately, 'cuz I simply cannot image a world without beers & wine.

SO I guess what probably may work is to first lose weight by not drinking beer and limit other caloric intake and do the running. Then when one is back at the "proper" weight carefully reintroduce beer. That is what I am doing right now, I will report back in a month or so :-)Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452782079453412124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-52271389587569787502009-01-07T11:38:00.000-08:002009-01-07T11:38:00.000-08:00Totally hear you.

It's a great hobby worth getting out of bed every day for - but it, uh, does have its side effects.Jay H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06153081608332918241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-26034694085169632512009-01-07T11:17:00.000-08:002009-01-07T11:17:00.000-08:00Good luck my friend.

I usually drink one or two every night or skip a few days and go back to it. I just love craft beer. I'm not in it to get drunk, I don't drink that much to get drunk. I just like the different taste and love exploring all the different kinds of beers out there. I to have come to the conclusion that it's time to go back to the gym. I won't be running that much though even though I need to. I'm more into lifting. Diet is something I'm going to start doing to but for some reason I just don't want to give up that beer. It's something I get excited about, trying new beer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-18157266823327377932009-01-07T09:35:00.000-08:002009-01-07T09:35:00.000-08:00Good luck!
