bigDH's accountability training a.k.a Beer Drinker's Appreciation Society (Page 91)

I was lazy on the w/o this weekend as well, and also had a tremendous run today.  maybe we do better w/ a little rest?  

Fish tale Ale  Winter brew.  more like an IPA than a winter brew, which is still fantastic in my book.  I have 1 more 6 pk, and a growler left for the month and will ask you guys to call me on my bs if I go over.

Is Dec. 21-26 exempt from not buying beer?

Gotta say I have had some great beers from fish tale!

My father had an expression that I absolutely hated as a kid - "Prior planning prevents poor performance."  But I have to say - it really applies here.  Thor's point is excellent but doesn't even begin to take into account New Year's Eve festivities...  

Two suggestions - 1) Cut yourself off now so you can have something tasty to drink later in the month or 2) earn an extra six pack or two by working out longer.  On average, it takes someone your size about 30 minutes to burn off 200 calories,which = 1 tasty IPA.  So, for every half hour you work out in addition to your weekly plan, you earn another beer.  1 hour a week for 3 weeks = 1 six pack.  

Make it happen!

Checking in... For the past 4 days, I've been laid low by a nasty cold.  I've had to stay home from work and I've missed out on the opportunity to enjoy the warm weather that we've been enjoying on the East Coast (yesterday it was 55 degrees).  The timing couldn't have been better.  Not only have I gotten to spend some quality time with the kids (they've been sick too) but it's also kept me from doing something stupid to irritate my bursitis - which is feeling much better.

Hoping to get back in the pool either on Thursday or Saturday and then try a little biking before heading out for a run next week.

With that chocolate chip mint stout ready to go on tap, I've got to get out there and earn my beer.

I am/know people who can’t drink rye?
They can drink ours as with triple filtering – “we clean the evil out”. This also helps in reducing the occurrence of hangovers.

Sooo, how many ounces will you be drinking to test this theory out?? 

Let's just hope that DH doesn't approach this test in the same way he approaches his running...

I am telling you, find the Phillips IPA 12pk, 4 different hopped up beers! Stay away from the fruity beers, yes, there are a few good ones but as far as a batting average goes...they suck!

Not sure on the rye. I had a bad experience in college with rye and have never touched it since...

If I am drinking hard liquor it is a good rum...

\Having an enjoyable double of the McNaughty tonight.  I went and purchased a 22 oz of Mongoose IPA.  I think I've had it before, but not sure.  Celebrating the end of my second to last semester of grad school tonight.  I always bottleneck all of the graduate projects till the end of the semester, so I basically just do the requirements of the class and save all the project work to the last two weeks of the semester.  Well, now I'm done.

6.2 miler tomorrow.

I signed up for my rec hockey team.  1 game a week.  I couldn't stay away long. 

Sorry to hear about the sick kiddo...  Hope it was just the coughing and not something more serious.

Lewis Black the man!

This is worth a brag.  45:02 this morning on my 6.2 miler.  That's a 7:14/mi pace and a pr for this course. 

I got back into the rec league and play my first game on Tuesday night.  good stuff.
