Day of Rest, and Caffeinating

With the knee on the mend, but definitely not all the way healed, I have taken to heart some advice from a fellow runner (thanks Lily on the Road!) who has more experience than I and will approach my recovery more conservatively than I would otherwise. Also, my paper is still in the drivel stage and I fully intend to get it to first draft stage by the end of today. As such I will be partaking of more coffee than I should while my lovely wife is entertaining the boys for the day. She's the best!

I wonder what other runners out there think about coffee? Is it ok or a total no go? My love of coffee started when I was a bike courier and the winter months were cold and long. Getting on the bike at 7am when it was still dark, the cafes looked very inviting and I was hooked. Also, downtime, a good book and coffee just fit so well together. I've cut down recently, but having no coffee while holding down an office job seems nearly impossible. I particularly enjoy the social aspects of the "coffee break" and would likely miss that most of all.

Anyway, back to the paper, and of course the coffee!
