One of my favorite Gaslight Anthem songs is “45” whose chorus has the lines “All my friends say… turn the record over.” Well, it’s 2026 and in August I turn 45. It’s time for me to turn the record over. I’ve spent far too long drinking too much, not exercising enough, and frustrated with elements of my health, my sleep, and my life. That’s why I’ve instituted the Turn the Record Over Challenge (TTROC for short) where every week I’ll share with you my workouts and how much I’ve been drinking. Play along if you like and let’s turn the record over together. Hit the music...
This entry will be nice and short. I have not worked out in two weeks because I got fucking Flu B. It's been awful. Most of the time I haven't been drinking, but there have been notable exceptions like Music Video Theatre, the Super Bowl, and a couple of other nights. The bottom line there is that I increasingly feel like complete shit when I drink, so making a conscious effort to limit it remains very important to me.
Back at it this week. I'll let you know how it goes. I still have a cough, and I'm sluggish as hell. This thing feels like it has a long tail on it, and I can't fully shake it. Hoping some regular exercise gets this ick out of me and soon.
