Quote from runningwild on 5/13/2008 at 4:20 PM:Thanks everyone, that helps! Now the real question- How do I turn running into a healthy hobby instead of an obsession? Ahh, nevermind. 
Well, you can start by taking a little more time off from your obsession - I'll send you my address, I have a deck that needs to be rebuilt, and you now have the skills. See you at 8 AM on Saturday. BTW, it's a big deck - you'll need all three days of this long weekend.
Quote from runningwild on 5/20/2008 at 2:01 AM:Well the deck got me again this past weekend. This time I stayed up late with friends drinking too many beers on the deck. Before I knew it the kids were in bed and I had pulled the cooler over to the table so I didn't have to get up any more.  Needless to say, I had a hard time finding any motivation to run yesterday. It feels ok though. I told myself (based on advice I got here) that I needed a "easy" week and kept my mileage under 30. I just got back from a 8.75 mile run and feel great.
On this I feel no sympathy - HTFU! Running with a hangover is "punishment" for not being in shape enough to handle your alcohol. You must run through the pain in your head. You will also get in practice in running after getting sick, which will be good for those long runs and races.  |

Disagree...running with a hangover sucks...but if you keep running it eventually cures the hangover. Hydrate well |

I used to be a middle-of-the-pack drinker but now that I am running so much I have fallen way off a good pace. I'm going to try and work on that this summer. In fact, I ned to start training for a beach trip with some college buddies.
BTW- I did catch six small mouth bass on Sunday morning. There are some things I can still do with a hangover!
