    14/20 for tonight please. Declaring early as have drank for the past 3 nights so won't tonight. I'll not make my target this month though - think I'll be 1-2 short.

    13/20 AFDs for me. Calling early because I feel yuk so I'll be going to bed early. I'm thankful that my running group aren't meeting tonight.


    Good luck Chardonnay with your 10k. I'm supposed to be building up my distance to 10k - I've only managed 6k so far.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Satchmo, goodness knows why we behave as we do! If I understood that I'd be a millionaire. Pick yourself up and start again - hopefully you're feeling back to normal now.

    I had a glass of wine with dinner last night, just the one, and tonight has been AF. I'm going to do the rest of the school night AF too.

    I had a bit of a revelation with my running - I've always struggled with getting out of breath and I just thought I had bad lungs (ex smoker). Anyway, turns out I have exercise induced asthma and I did my first run with medication (a puff of ventolin). It made such a difference! I ran almost 10k before my legs had had enough but my lungs were going just fine! Going again tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to it!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    12/16 for me please. One small glass of red wine spoiled it for me on Sunday night - damn my lack of willpower!

    Pleased with myself last night. I met a friend in a bar and stuck to fizzy water (partly because I was driving). Looking longingly at other people with wine I resolved to have some when I got home. I had plenty chilled (left over:eek:) from Sunday.


    Got home, decide I fancied a cup of tea more (wet, cold autumn weather?) so an unexpected AF night chalked up!!


    including today, that's:


    12 AFDs please Shaggy.
