Carnage

Well blog fans, things got a bit heavy in the last one so I thought this time I would give you a more light-hearted version, my ‘alternative’ marathon training method.

On Friday I went out for a quiet pint with our fabulous team at Great Portland Street, where we were joined by my best mate Dan, who I have known for a mere 16 years.

So after about 6 pints in the Cider Bar, and a few vodkas we went to Langleys in Covent Garden, where Dan got the champagne in and we danced the night away. Now, there was no real need for the champagne, as I was already mortal but it did the job and finished me off. My memories are shady after that. There were 3 of us left, me, Dan and Louise, and somehow, I got left in there on my own. I don’t remember either of them leaving, but both claim to have left 1st.

So after about 10 minutes on my own I decided it was time to get my coat and leave, and I can remember having to ask someone how to get out of the place.

I managed to find my way to Covent Garden tube, which thankfully is on the Piccadilly Line (which I live on). I can remember the tube being busy, then I was waking up at Northfields, which is only 1 stop further than I was meant to go. Result, I knew the way to walk home from here.

So I stopped off in Mark’s Kebab’s for a 2 burgers and 2 chips for £2 deal, stumbled home, went into my room, lay down and went asleep. This was at about 1AM, having been out since 5.

I woke up at about 6.30, fully clothed, on top of the bed, the light was on and 2 lots of burger and chips uneaten on the floor.

I have not done that since I was a student.

So if you would like to join in some of this carnage, we will do it all again this Friday, at the Green Man (Cider Bar) on Riding House Street (Near Oxford Circus) from 5, and there will be a Race Night on too to raise money for the ol' marathon. All are welcome.
