Training this winter

My main quandary is reconciling all the things that I enjoy doing because they are very much at odds with one another. I love cycling and racing. I just love being on my bike full stop really. However, I also love drinking to excess and all the demons this brings out. I know that when I wake up hungover I feel terrible. Especially when it stops me from going to the track that day. Its all about balance I suppose. Its like what Tom says, its easy to become obsessive about it and think fuck I have to train doubly hard next week to make up for the binge the other night. At the same time though, when I am sitting in the pub watching the footie, on my 6th pint. Think balls to cycling, I'm gonna give it all up and just carry on drinking and partying.

I know I could be a lot lot faster if I did give up all this nonsense. But hey, I am not a professional athlete and I am not a machine. Its this constant state of turmoil which makes me who I am really..

If ever there was a otm post this is it...
