Well if Jumping Jack Flash has said that he'll do it with one sabbatical that was the only thing holding me back. I also have a significant birthday during January. So count me in but I should like Saturday 13th January off please. If I can skirt around it, I'll not drink then either.
Well, I'm in anyhow... I'm teetotal until next September so count me in. I won't be drinking NYE either.. my alcohol-caffeine-free status started on Xmas Day
Well guys you can count me in too. I have a ball on the 10th February so I may just carry it on until then and then back on the wagon again until 02/04. Happy New Year to you all and happy, injury free running in 2007
I usually do this for February..as it helps to kick start my proper training after being a lazy arse all Winter..but I'll go from Jan 2nd to Wokingham Half Marathon (Feb 11th) this year (Jan 23rd off as its my birthday).
Do this every year,just gets a little tough towards the end.not done any running since July due to Achilles but am starting again jan 1 st. nothing like an easy start
It's odd how these things come around - only yesterday my Mrs suggested that "p'rap's we could have a while off the booze", after the same thought had been on my mind for a while - & along comes a thread full of folk saying exactly the same thing. So I'll say "yeah, alright - me too" - but I'll not sign the pledge just yet, if you'll excuse me. I don't think I've got a "drink problem", but having read some of the other drink threads (& there's plenty of them) I'm equally sure it's not a simple issue.
Been doing this for over 20 years and recommend it. Got a bit less disciplined over the years and have a glass or two of champagne Jan 1 lunchtime. It's one less excuse for not running - well actually two. Can't avoid running because of a meeting in the pub and also because of a hangover the following day.
Kencing Terus -- I've just ditched the coffee and tea bags and replaced them with caffeine free variations. Had a headache the first two days but nothing since.
Cath -- I'll give it a go but when I find my hands around someone throat I'll know I need to go back to 1 coffee a day. This is good compared to my 10 or so cups a day now.
I've been off it since Christmas Eve. No ill effects here. Feel marvellous this morning. Will finish working and then out for a long one on the bike before it gets dark. TW

Cath, I'll try to be caffeine free too but I know I'll have to succumb to a coffee a day to stop my withdrawal headaches.
