I won a race in Devon in 82 after a good pub lunch. A bloke called Dan Archer (honest) presented me with a nice pewter tankard.
You can combine running and beer with Hash House Harriers, though it's more of an ex-pat thing.
I brew about 15 gallons a month and I rarely let anybody else have a whiff at it and I run about 150 miles a month, so that 10 miles to the gallon.
