Think running and drinking don't mix unless there's a K-9 unit involved? Not true. Last Thursday, the Tacoma Runners - a group of T-Town pavement pounders - held their first Thursday Beer Run - a weekly gathering of runners for a short jog at a  "social pace." It was a total success. This week's Thursday Beer Run meets at The Red Hot.
