Beer and running is a beautiful combination.
But award-winning journalist, part-time boxing instructor and dedicated domestic engineer — and explosive combination if there ever was one — Tricia Booker just took that up a few notches.
In her blog (”My Left Hook: curious digressions by a writer fighter mom”) she describes what she calls “a perfect day” - workout, sex, beer and nap.
“Before I had children,” she writes, “this was my favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon.”
You start by going to the beach, state park or scenic area with lots of hiking trails. And then, I’ll let Booker explain:
Set your timer. Start walking at a nice pace to warm up. After 10 minutes, take it to a jog. Jog for 10 minutes, then slow to a fast walk for the next 10.
Continue with the 10 minutes walking, 10 minutes running routine for an hour. If it’s summer, you can occasionally stop to take a dip in the ocean.
When you’re done, go home and drink a really cold beer. Then drag your significant other into bed and have sex. (If you have kids, you may have to rent a hotel room for this part of the workout.) Then you’ll obviously take a nap.

Sounds like my perfect day.
It brings a whole new meaning to “work out partner and drinking buddy.” Beer runners got the answers to life….
