Sounds like a dirty word, doesn't it? Say it. F-U-N-K-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N. LOL! Reminds me of sex (wonder why) and that song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Everybody sing!! Californication...
But, oh, woe is me... I basically stuck to the plan last week. I went swimming, twice. I ran one extra day with Dee Dee. Then, she promptly left me to go out of town on Thursday and everything went to hell in a hay basket.
I had a few beers Thursday. Then, I had a few more beers Friday. Then Saturday, I got up and ran with the running club. Then I had a few more beers. In between all this, I was spiking my nervous system with coffee. *sigh*
Sunday really sucked. Monday too. Sleep has been pathetic. But I learned a good lesson, or maybe I reinforced a known lesson I choose to ignore. Drugging your body with a depressant (beer) and then drinking copious amounts of coffee in the morning to compensate is primarily responsible for the sad state of affairs I find my body in these days. Grrrrrrr!! Mood swings... Me? Hmmmmph...
I've been coming back to Planet Normal. No beer Sunday. Nor Monday. And I skipped the one that I normally have with breakfast :-) Second day without coffee to boot, and I'm almost jovial. Which is a good thing, cause last night when I came home, Dee Dee was cleaning the muzzle loader in the den with a gleam in her eye.
Now?! I WANT TO RUUUUUNNNNNNN :-) I'm thinking of trying to get in twenty this week. Depends on what Ms. Dee Dee wants to do. She really only has two more weekends to get her mileage up there. Sooooooo.... It'll either be twenty, or more.

Glad you're coming out of your funk. I don't know how you go without the coffee, though. I don't think I could do it.....
I'm not a big fan of running, but right now, I do anything to be able to do it. ;)
Even Superman has his off-days (as you have proven)
LOL at DeeDee in the den
I thought Marcy warned you to be good? :>P
Totally sounds like my weekend. Beer and coffee, followed by a total lack of running.
I'm with Michelle- don't know how you do the no coffee thing. I'd turn into a raging b!+ch at if someone denied me caffeine
Ugh I went without coffee this morning (not deliberately it just kind of "happened") and I have had a low grade headache for most of the day.
The only time it went away was during my swim workout!
Beer is so good but it does not agree with an atheletes body. Sucks but true.
Now coffee is a totally different story :)
damn... I haven't ran in a week! And, I consumed a lot of alcohol this weekend! :)
I think we all need a good funk once in awhile :)
It reminds us of how much better we feel when we're not in one.
Wes,
Just found your blog. It's good to find other bloggers from Atlanta!

Yeah yeah, same lesson, different day, huh? LOL
Glad you pulled yourself out of funkdom. :)
Oh Wes, don't say such nasty things! Beer at night and coffee in the morning are precious!
Come join me at the Funky Funks-a-lot Bar & Grill, 1234 East Funk Street, Funkerville, FN, 01234.
PS: Thanks for the kind words.
My favorite purchase from our trip to Bloomingdales....a keg-o-rater!! Beer on tap is scary fun.
:D
um.. Wes .. normal planet is the one where people drink beer and coffee!
After that post - all I can think of is having a beer.
So, ummm, thanks for that Wes. :-)
