Training Week #2, Part 2: The Pain

I gave up drinking when I started marathon training. Not even consciously, but the other day my dad asked me if I wanted a glass of wine, and I decided I shouldn't. Not while I'm in training. Problems arise when tequila comes into play, though. We all know how I greatly enjoy my tequila, and will take any opportunity--large or small--to savor it.

Lucky me, there's a tequila tasting at Republic tonight.

It's like the universe is mocking me. But I will remain strong. I will not give in to the urge to use my corporate powers to finagle myself an invite. No matter how badly I want to do it.

And that, my friends, is willpower.
