Day 5 - Good times with Water

Pretty solid day overall. Went spinning at lunch, did the PCP, and met up with friends after work for dinner / drinks. 

Managed to eat halves at dinner (went with a piece of bruschetta, a quarter slice of lasagna and a slice of thin crust pizza), and managed to pass on the wine (went with water instead). Afterwards, we went to a number of bars, and I just kept up with the water (part of this is PCP, part is that, with training for the marathon, my long runs are on Saturday morning, so I can't drink the night before). 

Went to a few different bars, and while it felt a little weird to be abstaining from the Jello shots, and the drinks, etc., I actually had a really good time. Seeing my friends get progressively more drunk was quite amusing, and I realized I could still dance and hang out and be social even if I'm going with bottles of water instead of bottles of vodka. If I'm being honest, at first I felt a little self conscious about dancing sans alcohol (I am not blessed with a particularly good sense of rhythm or dancing abilities :) ), but once I got into it (and remembered that everyone else around me was wasted and couldn't tell the difference),  I had a blast. All the fun (ok, fine, not ALL of the fun, but a good amount of fun nevertheless), and none of the hangover. Good deal.
