Maybe I'll call it an experiment.

Distance: 4 km (approximate - My garmin needs recharging)

Time: 22’00”

So, today I had two bottles of beer at and around lunch, yelled for a little bit (mostly at myself) and then I went for a punishing 4km run, disregarding any common sense that warned me to keep some in reserve for the fun run tomorrow.

It was awesome in the sense that I managed a hilly 4k in 22 minutes flat, the same 4k I used to run in about 28 minutes. Not so awesome in the sense that I didn’t realise how dehydrated I was, and although I’m fine, I might not have been. My judgement may have been the teeniest bit impaired.

We’re going out tonight, after dinner. Although I know that running with a hangover is almost as idiotic as running drunk, it’s certainly not the first time I’ve run a race after a few drinks the night before. By the time I’m sober and awake, I might be halfway through the race already.

I think I should go hydrate some more.
