We live on a crescent street about 300m around, so we had everyone run 4 laps, drinking a can of beer (or whatever they could manage!) before each lap. This was definitely an "unofficial" mile with very relaxed rules, but it was a riot watching everyone chugging drinks on our driveway then running like maniacs around the block. We had a few "non-runner" participants and plenty of spectators/photographers, which made it even more fun.
Here I am, all ready to go. Yes - I wore my Seattle race bib and medal the entire time and that's my Brooks VIP toilet paper... just in case. Oh, and I'm drinking a Vex vodka cooler instead of beer. (I told you we relaxed the rules!)
Proof that I actually drank beer (I hate it):

We had ribbons!
The aftermath:
2010 Beer Milers!
This is definitely going to be an annual tradition!
Happy (belated) Canada Day
and
Happy 4th of July!
