Day 80
80 Fucking, Beautifully Glorious Days sober. The transformation is real!!!
We've done it!!! Who'd have thought I could manage that long without a drink?
Could you stay sober for 80 days??? And if not, why not?
That's the burning question isn't it? When everything in our social lives, our culture, revolves around alcohol; celebrations, commiserations, weddings, funerals, birthdays, break ups, catch ups. Bad day at the office, kids driving you up the wall.
How hard is it to actually NOT drink???
Well done to all those who took part in the challenge with us and huge thank you to @johnmpt1 who joined me in sobriety - as the challenge would've been a whole different ball game without you on my side.
What have I learned from being sober?? ... link to blog ⬆️
A truly life altering experience.

Today was tough. Started with a bit of a dodgy tummy this morning. Ignored it. Just cracked on. Felt fine up the first hill, then got a bit of a stitch/stomach cramps on the first long down hill. Tried to run it off but by the time I got 6-7 miles in, the stitch had gone but we were on the way up to Weets Top and I just crashed and burned. Felt really sick, dizzy and just totally drained. This has happened to me b4 on training runs a couple of times and the outcome is never pretty. I don't like fucking running anyway. 🤣😂 I was in half a mind to sack it off at the 8 mile checkpoint when I heard someone behind me. Got chatting and, quite bizarrely, Louise (my new best friend) was struggling a bit too. We reached the top, had a bit to eat at the checkpoint and I realised I'd been drinking quite a lot. Somehow I'd managed to get dehydrated. No wonder I wasn't feeling well. Water filled up and we set off together, running, chatting and walking when needs be. By mile 13 was starting to feel human again and the last hill was a breeze (as much as a big hill can ever be). Finished the race with tons of energy and slightly disappointed... but... aside from smacking my shin on a slippy stile, I finished in one piece, which these days is half the battle. Welcomed by the booming shouts from @johnmpt1 "COME ON JENKINS" waiting patiently with my @ratracehq robe 😍
At the end of the day, they all count.
