What a weekend! What a week!
Before yesterday morning's Sunday run we were discussing the demons that runners have to cope with. Alcohol was mentioned. And, from the last week's experience, and more so this weekend running, I wholeheartedly agree.
It was Christmas party week. As ever, this involved a touch of booze. Or more correctly, a big bucket of booze.
My employers managed to find £1000 of sponsorship for the bar tab for Thursday's party. Not a huge deal if you work for a big company. However I work for a small company of 14 people, and only 10 of us could make it to the event. That made it £100 to spend on beer, spirits cocktails. etc. And, boy, did we go for it! And I paid the price.
Saturday's 5.6mile cross country was a disaster. Still feeling rough from Thurday, and having eaten nowhere near enough I set off on my second proper cross country race. Ugh!! I felt ill from the start. Cut a long story short they were taking down the finish line when I crossed it. What an embarrassment.
Sunday's run was mildly better, but I am staying well away from beer for the foreseeable future.
