Coffee And The Runner

I have definitely have been drinking coffee as long as I have been a competitive runner and it has always worked for me. I do not think I could actually train on a daily basis without my coffee. There was a time I was visiting a friend and he was not a coffee drinker and I had to race on the weekend I was visiting him. What a terrible mistake that was no coffee and run a 5 mile road race YIKES!!! Needless to say the race did not go well I really should have won this pretty low key race instead I was 4th. At the starting line I felt half awake and not my usual KEYED UP SELF!! About half way through the race I managed to get into gear but that was a little late and I was way too far behind. I do not feel as coffee is an addiction since I often notice that I accomplish a lot more under the influence of coffee. Notice how I say under the influence of coffee just trying to be funny. I know that caffeine is very good for me and helps me get things DONE!!! I also like to call it my taking care of business drug. In the 70's there was a commercial about coffee and getting things accomplished. The name of the commercial was become "A Coffee Achiever" I love those commercials. I like to call myself a Coffee Achiever!!!
This is to be continued on another day when I have had my fill of COFFEE!! Farewell!
