I was an avid runner once, started in my mid 40's. Did a few half marathons. But it just got harder and harder to maintain the same level of performance while drinking ever increasing volumes. I stopped trying when I stopped drinking. I did try to get back into it a couple of times and I did enjoy it but my body's just too beat up now. Besides, I've built some brand new interests.
Closing out a very productive and enjoyable Sunday. Congratulations to everyone who didn't drink. And if you didn't make it thru the weeked, don't give up!
