Now everyone knows I like a drink or three... So it may come as quite a shock to those that read this that for the duration of my training I will be alcohol free! That means a three and a half month enforced sobriety the likes of which my body hasn't seen in well over a decade.
To a few people that might not seem like such a hardship (who are you?) but my life simply revloves around the buying, selling and marketing of the worlds best alcoholic beverage... Wine!
That meant keeping sober during my company work party on Friday night - where the free booze was positively flowing in the streets... That's right, I turned down free booze!!!
If that's not worth a cheeky sponsor donation I don't know what is? Though it has helped toward a 7lb drop in weight over the past two weeks and I'm now able to run 5k without slowing down to walk so it's not all bad news. Still a long way to go mind you, and really appreciate all the support I've had so far so keep it coming!
I'll keep you informed of the success and inevitable struggles on the lead up to the big day so feel free to share this with anyone who'd be interested!
