Do cocktails count as hydration?

If they do, then I'll be all set for tomorrow's long run. If not, I'm in trouble.

Owen and I had a big cocktail party to go to tonight and I definitely enjoyed some cocktails from the open bar. My toddler was safe with grandma and grandpa so all was good. Now home, Owen is watching the dvr'ed (dvr'd? dvred? recorded?) Ryder Cup and I'm wondering if I should replace the cocktail he just poured me with a glass of water. Probably. I'm planning on a long run tomorrow and I would hate to blow it because I'm all dehydrated.

We did have fun at the party, though. It's something I miss now that I am a parent -- getting out. I carve out time for running, time for work, time for volunteering, but time for other fun often ends up getting bumped. Bad idea. Everyone needs to have fun! Not that I don't have fun -- don't get me wrong. But, just not as much as I used to because priorities have shifted. Blah, blah, blah! It was fun tonight, but I have plans for tomorrow -- I should get off my butt and get some water so I can have a good run!

Hope you're all having FUN this weekend!
