Couch to Beacon: Redemption
Shannon Bryan still can't run, but she believes in second chances. She's giving the Beach to Beacon 10K another shot (you know, after last year's tragic failure. But let's not bring that up).
Drinking to prevent psychosis
It's been five weeks since I announced the Beer Moratorium and I'm happy to announce that it's over. And by "over" I mean that it ended about three weeks ago when I went to "Thursday Night Thunder" at the Beechridge Speedway.
For those of you who have never been there...let's just say having a beer in your hand really completes the experience.
But I've been good about consuming moderately and - let's be honest - the Monster drinks have really taken over my life anyway (but NOT just before a run...that's very, very bad).
If I've learned anything at all over the last few months it's this...
[WARNING! SERIOUS MUSINGS AHEAD. SARCASM LEVELS FRIGHTENINGLY LOW]
You don't need to completely alter your life if you're looking to make a positive change. Want to run? Go run. You like beer? Then drink beer. Discovered a new addiction to buffalo chicken wings? Then by all means, chow down.
There's no sense in torturing yourself - that's what causes inevitable break-downs and psychosis.
So I'll keep running. But I'll also keep drinking. I'm drinking to prevent psychosis.

Casting Call
Amen Sista! I've always believed anything, and everything in moderation is the key to life. Don't limit yourself from anything...unless it's illegal. Just be moderate about it.
You have passed your course in life lessons grasshoppa!
Can't wait to the Saco River celebration after the race.
