This time, I'm tired of drinking.
I don't think I mentioned it here - but I decided that I was going to stop drinking for the one month prior to the half marathon. I've been doing great - it is easier than I thought it would be. Until last night.
A friend had an Oktoberfest gathering last night. And I said "screw you, drinking ban...I just ran 10 miles" and so I drank. And it was fun. It was 100% authentic Oktoberfest. We had frosty mugs. And snuff. And a board of shots. And German cuisine. And Hammerschlagen. We ziggy-zogged until the wee hours.
And then there's today. I feel pretty worthless. I'm dehydrated. I'm tired. Funny how quickly one forgets the negative impact of alcohol...
And funny how it only took one night of boozing for me to get tired of drinking. :) I think I'm going to blame it on the lethal combination of a long run and a long night of drinking. I'm not ready to throw in the towel on alcohol. We've been friends for far too long. I can't stay mad at you!!
