Week 4.5

Lord, another hangover.

This time, I’m swearing off the booze for good. I’ll still drink, but not in such vast, guzzley quantities that would put the guys below to shame.

But talk is cheap (and people who know of my drinking predilection would scoff at this resolution), so I’ve come up with a bunch of tactics to stay away from Tiger and its many cousins.
Tactic 1: Feel like a drink? Head out for an hour of good, hard massage.
Tactic 2: Whenever I buy a drink, chuck equivalent amount of money in my sober piggy bank.
Tactic 3: No more than 2 drinks, if I do drink.
Tactic 4: Keep a Bone Dry Day Count on this blog. Starting on 12 Feb 2011.
Tactic 5: If a massage is not possible, then work on a story (at this rate, I’ll be publishing reams of them!)

Bone Dry Days: 3 

Achievements

I wussed out on the run again. Managed to run up and down the slopes but walked all the way back. I’ll skip rope to make up for my wussiness.
Otherwise I’ve achieved my goals for both days. My next goals are to just increase reps and increase poundage.

Goals

• +1 to Standard & Inclined Push Ups
• +2 to Single Leg Calf Raises
