I should consider buying a copy of this book. This past weekend I was making the 'big jump' into double digits for my long training run-11 miles. I purchased the first batch of GU, Sport Beans and my Fuel Belt was ready with delicious frozen Gatorade.

Shelley came over on Friday night to assist me in jump starting my roommate, Kim's cleaning of her room. I have not seen Shelley in over 3 weeks...we decide to go to Happy Hour before the cleaning extravaganza...well, 3 martinis and a couple of bottles of wine later, not only did Kim have the start of a clean room...but I had a hangover the size of MD Saturday AM that prevented me from running...oops!

Fast forward 24 hours to Boordy Vineyards for their Summer concert series...we have a great time, and a few bottles of wine later...I am thinking that maybe I won't run this weekend. Well...I pop out of bed on Sunday---7 AM ready to go...so I venture out and run 10 1/2 miles-at about mile 7 I realize that I may have still been drunk when I started running, and then once the alcohol left my body I got a hangover.

Not fun, not fun and a lesson well learned. Don't hang out with anyone in your life that likes to drink and is not currently training for their second marathon.
