Marathon Failure
The annual San Francisco Half Marathon is a chance for amateur and professional athletes to enjoy a 13-mile run through a scenic cityscape. This year, however, one yahoo decided to consume a 12-oz beer for every mile.
The full story (strong language warning) is a bit ridiculous. As you might expect, the “hero” goes on a bender, darting between liquor stores as he makes his way across the Golden Gate bridge. What possible success could come from drunken idiocy?

To understand the victory that came from this failure, look past the blog post into the comments. The author receives tremendous applause, and is offered the chance to recount his tale on several radio shows as well as write for comedy websites. The boneheaded idea of running a half marathon while drinking might turn out for the best.
The moral of the story is not that you should change your exercise plan to include heavy drinking. Instead, sometimes, failing leads to succeeding. The smart choice is not necessarily to do stupid things, but to be unafraid of sharing your mistakes. Talking about error might lead to learning, or, simply be very entertaining.
