You can do it lost! I went out last night and had a small splosh - just one line. It could could have been worse.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 30/09/2017 10:54

Not disastrous Serial the offer of a cheeky line when you're out is still something wild horses can't stop me doing. You can get your weekend of quiet contemplation back on track today Grin

My race preparations so far consist of deciding what to wear and searching the house for paracetomol. I've resorted to drinking half a bottle of Calpol and put some fluorescent laces in my trainers.

You need to carb load Lost, get some chocolate down yer neck!

ponzusoup · 30/09/2017 12:32

Good luck lost! get some pasta down you and concentrate on how brilliant you'll feel afterwards.

Hooch hope the date is a sizzler or at least not a fat baldie.

Serial great work stopping at one.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 30/09/2017 13:21

Oh dear I haven't carb loaded. Hopefully my porridge this morning will count. Going to drive to my sister's house and will report back hopefully sober and high on endorphins. Hmm

Really want to stay in eating biscuits in my pyjama bottoms but too late now.
Happy Saturday all x

Lost is the Mo Farrah of this thread!

DustyDuck · 30/09/2017 20:59

And I'm the Paula Radcliffe Confused

HoochiMama · 30/09/2017 23:31

Well that kept me out of trouble, had a date with a lovely far too young 26 year old who hardly drinks and is into healthy eating and meditating. What a difference a week makes Grin

Hope you've all had a good evening, looking forward to hearing about the run Lost Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/10/2017 09:44

It sounds like you've met your Mr Good Influence Hooch! One extreme to the other Grin

I was so tired last night and had to wash a load of paint out of my hair when I got in. I enjoyed it though, it was quite a laugh running with flashing lights and music. I felt old though; loads of young uns there. Less Mo Farrah, more Moe from The Simpsons.

Not sure I've sparked a life long addiction to running. I'm so unfit and aching but managed a 3rd weekend clean..woo

Hope everyone else is feeling good this morning Brew

Well done Lost for both the run and on 3 weeks surfing. It really does help to have a distraction, hope you're not aching too much today.

Yes not sure Mr GI will last long but he seemed keen enough and it made a very pleasant change Smile

So nice to take DS to sports training without the comedown from hell. Happy Sunday all x

serialtester · 01/10/2017 11:04

Well done lost!

ponzusoup · 01/10/2017 21:04

Nice one lost that's brilliant! Looks like the exercise helps the circle helps the exercise. A virtuous circle!

ponzusoup · 01/10/2017 21:05

Helps the surfing i Meant to say! Am a bit french. Which doesn't help anything!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/10/2017 22:34

Mais oui petit Ponz, I know what you mean. I like the idea of a virtuous circle. I'm not convinced running is my thing but I'm going to force myself to continue in the hope it grows on me.

Had quite a boring Sunday, not doing much and it rained all day. Really craving it tonight. I just miss that sparkly colourful spin on life that I can only get with drugs Sad
Anyway, ploughed through and in bed now. Night all x

You've done really really well this weekend lost.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/10/2017 17:51

Thanks Serial I think we all have, let's fist bump like cool people Grin

Argh I just hope it gets easier. It's on my mind all the time, especially in the evenings. I find myself minding my own business, washing up, watching tv and catch myself dreaming about a fat line all of a sudden. I'm so fucked up.

OP posts:
serialtester · 02/10/2017 19:29

I found myself thinking of a fat line on my way to work this morning! It's always there.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/10/2017 19:45

Ah glad you're fucked up too Serial That makes me feel better. Wink
I'd be jogging to work if I had a line on the way there! Zut alors.

OP posts:
serialtester · 02/10/2017 20:36

I'd sprint to work and then be uber productive and positive in 20 minute bursts. Might get told off for hogging the bathroom though!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/10/2017 20:47

Yes to the 20 minute bursts of productivity Grin possibly followed by a slump as the afternoon wears on and an abuse of smoking breaks.

In other news, my cold is now all on my chest. I cannot stop coughing. Not feeling the benefits of my healthy regime At All.

OP posts:
ponzusoup · 02/10/2017 22:01

I've been drowning in my own snot. My nose feels like it's done ten grammes. Coughing like a lunatic.

Lost hope you feel better soon.

Well done us for being boring straight bastards.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/10/2017 22:21

That's awful Ponz Being healthy is turning out to be quite shit so far!
Oh well at least your nostrils are plugged (very small mercy).

OP posts:
serialtester · 03/10/2017 06:55

Get better soon you two!

ponzusoup · 05/10/2017 12:31

Anybody there?

Still surfing here. Nose still sore for all the right reasons.

How yous all doing?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/10/2017 18:25

Hello Ponz glad you're still surfing, sorry about your sore nose. How ironic.

I've abstained all week, not even drinking and feel truly dreadful. Still coughing my toenails up [drama queen] so can't sleep and today I seem to have pulled a stomach muscle or something from coughing Confused. Feeling very sorry for myself. My running career is dead in the water!

I wouldn't do a line if you paid me today. actually that's a lie, I probably would Wink

Hope fellow surfers are feeling stronger and healthier. (and sorry for the moan).
