To Stinky Drinker posting regulars, welcome back! If you’re a newbie, then you should know that the Stinky Drinkers are a band of merry runners all training for the Women’s Running Magazine Women’s Half Marathon in downtown St. Pete on November 22nd. Our mission is to increase our mileage weekly throughout our training, and when we do, we toast with a pint at one of the Bay area’s fine thirst-quenching establishments.
For those who enjoy our training tales, I’ve been doing a little character exposition lately. I’ve introduced you to 2 of our 4 founding members to date, Liz (now known as “Grist”) and Lisa (aptly named “Snake Bite”). I’ve saved our dear Phylis for last, which means this week, you’re getting the lowdown on SD Holley (heretofore to be known as “Shok”). I’m taking the time to make these introductions because I think it’s important that all of our potential and/or honorary SDs out there realize that anyone can do this. We are all very, very different, but it’s those differences that make us great friends and excellent running buddies. Think about it if you were not only operating on your own strengths, but also on those of the people you love, you would be an unstoppable force, wouldn’t you?
We think so. Salut!
