Part of being a corporate athlete is dealing with the various social eating and drinking temptations that go hand in hand with working in a suit. Last night was our end of financial year party, and I unfortunately gave into temptation rather than resisting! All I know is that at one stage there were 20 jaeger bombs lined up on the bar and I had far too many of them. Needless to say, my head hurt like hell this morning.
If you were to ask most normal people how to cure a hangover, I doubt that "jackhammering a concrete path" would be high on the list of responses. I now know why. After a few hours of labouring, my head still hurt so I decided to take Bo for a run. I plugged the ipod in and took off towards Fairlight at an easy pace. Ended up doing 9.8km in 42mins. I felt great by the end and I really think I sweated out most of the toxins!! Bo was brilliant - he ran on a loose lead the whole time (right up to Queensie Road, at which point he thought I'd really appreciate being pulled up the hill).
A few more hours of labouring - this time breaking up pieces of concrete with a sledgehammer - and I was wrecked, but no longer hungover!
