I'm dumping him. (Read 1867 times)

Oh, it won't be easy. When I spend time with him, I get a warm, fuzzy feeling. But here's the thing....he's not supportive of my training. He makes me want to stay in bed when I should be out running. Sometimes I think he knocks me around, because I wake up with a killer headache after a night with him. And when I'm with him, he coerces me to say and do things that aren't typical of me. He's just bad news for me.

I guess I won't completely rule out the occasional hookup, but it's hard to go back to that once you've been serious, you know?

xxx is much better without the xx

Alchohol will limit your ability to train - The amount of the limitation is different for everyone.  Some people are happy to give a little peak performance up for the enjoyment alchohol gives.

 

I have been dry since February 13th.  I will have a one night stand with booze on April 21st and again on May 5th.  Other than that I will not drink until after my goal race ends June 3rd.

For me I would stay dry the whole time - But big events are big events

April 21st is Carmel Marathon and part of the fun is to drink with a couple of RA'ers.

May 5th is opening fishing weekend - The one time a year I see one of my good friends - No, we do not fish up north - we golf and drink.  But I am showing up really late Friday night - So I cannot drink and will save all my drinking energy for Saturday.  We golf 18 Sat and 18 Sun.  But I will be back on the wagon Sunday.

 POD - Both of you hoseheads (CR and Spaniel) better not be disappointing April 21st.  That is no time to re-gain willpower!

   Heck no.  That day has been a long time coming.  The time for willpower is the time between now and then.  If I subtracted HALF of my alcohol calories from my diet over the past few months, I'd be way past what I needed to shed the few lbs to good racing weight.

 You could always skip the booze and smoke weed

It's also Cinco de Mayo. So much for being on the wagon.
