In Washington, DC, the Hangover Classic 10K used to be held on the morning of January 1. One year a midshipman from Annapolis set the Hains Point course record, which seemed a bit contrary to the spirit of the thing. I rarely get hungover these days, but in my 20s I found that about four miles of hard running would break a hangover. I would feel much better, but also still tired.
