Did a soul cleansing workout on Wed.
Squats: 405 x 3, 425 x 3, 455 x 3.
Rack pulls: 315 x 8, 405 x 5, 505 x 3
Speed pulls: 225 x 3 x 3
thursday morning I ran a solid five miles in 50 min and then a final 1/4 mile with Megan. the squats and deads the previous night did not improve my run; however, they didn't really make it worse. I sure felt em though. Got up this morning and just did a walk with Meg. I'm going to run a 5K tomorrow morning here in town. It's gunna be blazing hot so my expectations aren't real high Hopefully there will be a good turnout so the chances of me finishing dead last are reduced. As of Thursday night, I have been completely sober for seven days. This is a milestone for me. I know we've agreed on periods of non-drinking in the past, but I've pretty much just lied to everyone about it. Quitting for me has always been a drastic reduction in my consumption until I can get back to my normal routine. This go around is much different. I did not ask God to help me as I've always done in the past. This time I asked God for a miracle. No bargains, deals, or promises to meet him half-way. It turns out he doesn't really need our help to make a miracle work. Sometimes we simply have to get outta the way.
Oh, and I haven't shaved since my last drink. I'm going for the crazy woodsman beard-mohawk combination for the ToughMudder. Honestly, I think it will be easier to stay sober for the next six weeks than letting my beard and hair grow out that long.

Hee hee...You should most definitely let that grow out for a year or two. You'd wear the huge beard/shaved head combo really well.
And awesome job on the sobriety. i'm very glad to hear it. And i 'spect yer blood pressure will thank you for it. i'll be praying for you.
