This is it! I'm going to attempt my toughest challenge to date - I'm giving up drink! I'm doing it partly because as I get older the hang-overs are getting way too long, partly because I want to run a sub 3 hour marathon next year and partly because I want to feel a bit better about myself.
I have run a few long races on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust (my daughter has CF). I've decided that instead of extorting money from others for my Acts of Contrition I am going to make the ultimate sacrifice. I'm going to donate £1 for every day without a drink. Hopefully, this time next year I'll be sending a cheque for £365 to the Trust.
My treat to myself, if I manage to do it
will be a trip to the US to run the New York marathon. Ah well, I can
but try.

If only I had your mettle, I'd join you.
You can print this off and present me with the evidence of my commitment when we meet in NYC next year.
see you at NYC.
Good luck in your venture, only time I could give up was when pregnant, not an option for you :-)
I hope you fair better than my lad. He gave up to lose weight for a snowboarding holiday.
After a few weeks he found he wasn't sleeping very well, so he went to his GP who prescribed a course of Tamazipan.
He started to drink again...problem solved, no medication required!
Hope you make it to NYC
