Next time, try to drink twice as much water as you drank alcohol. You wont have the same problem. If you are a binge drinker I have pity on your kidneys

Don't forget about my liver either!
Yeah, I'm pretty much an all or nothin' type of guy. I don't drink often, but when I do, it tends to be a substantial amount.
Todays workout:
1.5 Mile Run in 12:11.38 I was going to do a 2 mile run, but my back felt pretty tight already.

Tonights Workout:
Warmup: Half Mile Run (3:19). I shortened my pre-workout run to see if that helped my energy during the lifts.
Squat: 1 x 15 @ 45, 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 3 @ 175 (reg squat) 2 x 175 @ 5 (hack squats).
Standing Presses: 1 x 10 @ 45, 1 x 8 @ 95, 1 x 5 @ 115, 1 x 4 @ 125, 1 x 5 @ 115
Powercleans: 1 x 5 @ 95, 1 x 5 @ 115, 1 x 5 @ 125
Another crappy squat day. I almost buried myself under only 175. This is kind of sad. I don't know what it is about squats, but the last week of doing them has been terrible.
Apparently my lower body strength is lagging behind in a serious way to my upper body strength.
Lower back is pretty stiff, and my grip felt like it wanted to give out the entire time. I will say I sweat 100x more doing this workout than what I did doing the "hard body" plan by Mens Health.
IF I had to take a guess, I'd say it's my diet that's holding me back. I need to really work on that.

Todays Workout:
3 minute run. I would have gone farther, but my kid decided it was more important to annoy me than let me just fucking run in peace.
My Forearm/shoulder has been killing me since Sunday Night, so I was wondering how this would effect my workout as well.
Squat: 1 x 12 @ 45, 1 x 5 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 155, 1 x 5 @ 165, 1 x 5 @ 175 ( Still no Squat rack or even some sort of jerryrigged version. I'm half tired by the time I am in position to do my first rep. )
Bench: 1 x 12 @ 45, 1 x 5 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 155, 1 x 4 @ 165, 1 x 7 @ 155
DL: 1 x 10 @ 45, 1 x 5 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 215
I hate this program right now. I just don't feel like I'm getting stronger at all.

How you eating and sleeping? Totally sounds like too little protein and not not enough complex sugars to get you through the workout.

I don't sleep a whole lot, never been able to. IT wouldn't surprise me if my diet wasn't up to snuff. I'm going to up the kcal, and see if I can't force myself to start getting 7 hours a night of sleep, then go from there.

What are your goals? Why all the running?

If your a bit leery about powercleans then don't add them into a routine. Learn how to do them with good form first.
Not sure on your fitness level but i wouldn't have much energy left to complete the rest of my workout if i ran a mile in 6:56 as a warmup. Does it effect recovery ability ?

I'm not a fan of being winded while playing sports. Long, long term goals involve being about 175-180, have my 40 time down to close to where it was in HS, and being able to run a 5k in under 18:00 minutes, and getting a combined 1k on the big three lifts.
Goals that I want to hit rather soon include 1 sub 6 minute mile, weighing 155, and being able to bench/squat 225 for reps.

I feel better now about the powercleans than I did previously (re: other posts in this thread)
I got down to a 6:39 mile, now on lifting days I'm tapering off my running to a half mile or so. I will probably change it up to a 10 minute jog or so, then go from there.
