I'm down with exercise to get rid of a hangover, but not running. Lifting weights though, makes me feel right again. Lifting weights and going straight into a sauna? Magic.

I am going to see cW tonight and the chances run high that I will have a slight hangover tomorrow. I'm also staying at a hotel with a pool. I plan on going for a swim in the morning and seeing how that treats me. I've never been one for lifting weights, I really ought to change that. I know that b_b swears by it. It's one of those things that nobody ever showed me how to do and I'm under the impression that you can seriously hurt yourself if you do it incorrectly.

Off to taste some whiskey's!

To lift weights well, start light and do it right. It's all about form. Adding weight is secondary. Mind you, people that lift seriously have all kinds of ways of maximizing gains and strategies on cutting, etc. If you just want to be strong and look pretty good, form and mixing up some good routines are pretty much all there is to it.

Enjoy your whiskeys.

I did. Too much.

I never made it to the pool the next day, but I did employ several of the hangover steps cW recommends. I will often wake up feeling like poop and think, "why did I do that?" But I had a great time the other night and have no regrets. Perhaps it could have ended an hour or so earlier, but the momentum of fun is a tough thing to quell.
