A local man used his morning run today to “sweat out” the effects of the previous night’s drinking, Dumb Runner has learned—the latest in a long line of such efforts.
Ted Striker, 36, drank “several” beers during a Zoom happy hour with friends last night, a source said, capping the evening with tequila shots. Afterward, he reportedly ate an entire frozen meat-lover’s pizza.
“Oh man,” Striker said upon waking this morning, badly hung over. “I’ve gotta sweat this out.”
It was not immediately clear, after his four-mile run, whether Striker succeeded in sweating out anything other than sweat.
According to the source, Striker has long relied on perspiration to undo the effects of his drinking and dietary habits. Among the things Striker has recently had to sweat out, the source said, are a plate of chili cheese dogs, a family-size serving of loaded nachos, a pulled-pork sandwich topped with onion rings, four McDonald's Sausage McMuffins, and takeout chicken curry.
Reached by phone, Striker said he felt much better after his run.
“That was just what the doctor ordered,” he said. “I really sweated it out.”
Striker said he expected to run again tomorrow morning, and in the meantime was looking forward to settling in at home tonight with a movie and “a huge plate of leftover pork lo mein.”
