Was going to take the week off myself Dave but oh my god the guilt I felt for even thinking it had me change my mind :rolleyes: I think once you stop or take a break can be harder to get back to it. I am however going to take the runs easy and if I miss one or two so be it
OO OHHH i think you'r in trouble ....:eek:
My name is XXX and I'm a runaholic
I was doing really had been clean all year very healthy. I might have had a taste or two while on holiday but nothing to need a meeting.
I was getting on grand, doing a bit of cycling. That was until 10 days ago. It was peer pressure that got me, ended up on a major bender, 2 hours and more, muck, bog, mist and downhills, not fast but enough. I thought no problem just a slip up back on the bike I'll be fine.
Thing is I've used again, twice since. Usual hilly stuffs not so bad but this morning I was on the flat. Was nothing I told myself, just having a look at the new railway walk extension. Nothing wrong with that. Who am I fooling, who looks at such things before 7am in the morning..
Thing is I know I'm doing damage, hurting myself and my loved one. But it's got me again.
I've spent my whole life fighting the stuff, the best years of my life wasted looking into the eyes of other users, then proving my addiction, my love of the stuff was deeper then theirs.
what am I going to do.":D:D
or........:eek::eek:
My name is XXXXX and I'm a runaholic. It started a few years ago, when I
cut down on smoking- at the time I convinced myself this was for
health reasons, but now I know it was so I could take up jogging. Soon
I was running one, two, laps of a park without a cigarette, and before
I knew it I had stopped buying fags altogether. My late-night boozing
sessions, which had gone on till 7am at times, became curtailed, as I
tried to limit the damage Sunday morning hangovers caused to my jogs.
Before long I was running several times a week, but thought I could
handle it, thought that would be enough. Friends became concerned, as
I skipped the monster fry option, in favour of a salad. They tried an
intervention, but I showed no interest in the lap-dance, explaining
that she was putting undue pressure on my ITB, and that the white
powder she was forcing up my nose was on the IAAF list of banned
substances. Friends dropped off, to be replaced by gaunt-faced demons
who actively encouraged my addiction. "You gotta run a marathon, its
the ultimate buzz", they goaded. "Why not try one, I can always leave
it at that?", I thought, and that was the start of the end, I embraced
my addiction, throwing myself into schedules, running books, whatever.
You name it, I've done them all- uppers, downers, PMP's, LSR's, DOMS, even VO2max.
Now I spend my day rubbing oil into my legs, scouring over training
logs, checking my heart rate, waiting for the right time when I can
get my gear out for a fix. No embarrassment is beneath me, no level of
depravity too low. I'm ashamed to say I will cover myself in bog****e,
flagellate my legs through thorns and heather, run half naked down
rocky mountains, all in the name of my "pastime". I promise myself
that it will all stop in a few weeks, I just need one more hit, one
sub 3 marathon, and I can hang up my trainers, and be free of this
addictive curse, free to booze, snort, poke, inhale, once again, like
any normal Irishman. Just one more marathon, then I'll give it up, I
promise...
