I’ve never been one to drink every night but when I do drink I do it to be drunk. I picked up running about 7 years ago and I’ve become more in tune to the effects drinking, sleeping and eating have on the body. The more serious about running I get the more I push drinking aside and prioritize the running. I can have two beers on a Friday night and go for a run the next day and totally feel the effects of the beer from the night before even though it was only 2 beers. I’ve kind of gotten to the point I hardly drink at all. Being able to wake up at 6am on a Saturday, run 10 miles and still have the whole day left is a great feeling. Partying is fun in the moment but not with it in the long run, even when not being hung over.
Long story short, pick up running. It sucks balls at first but the runners high is a real thing once you get over the hump.
God job to all those who are staying sober.
