I was cranking up...

[El Gordo]

It's never too late for sinners to repent...

As you say, I'm a past master at this sort of lapse. On the positive side I'd say 2 things: 1) I've always found that the path back to the straight and narrow isn't as bad as it appears through the bottom of a beer/wine glass, and 2) The alternative, being a nailed-on goody-goody would be even worse.

That said, I've resolved to stay on the wagon for a while myself. Haven't had any alcohol or chocolate for 2 weeks now, and intend to keep it up for a while to shed a few pounds.

Hope your pre-race schedule goes to plan. Somehow, it's always easwier to plan those 20 milers than it is to do 'em.

Looks like you might be in the US for the election? It's on the 2nd I think. Should be interesting.

Keep us posted.
