Yup, Dunkin is a puggle, he is 5 months old. Born on October 14

Just got done teaching for the day.  Now on to meetings!

128.8.  Not much of a change, but going in the right direction.

Thought this was an interesting article about bricks:

question......Do you alter your workout today if you are super, duper sore from yesterday's workout?  I want to know what you all do.  

My legs are spent.  Bad.  If they feel this way in the morning, should I HTFU and proceed with the mid distance run I have scheduled?  Or do I skip the run and just do the swim?    

I knew I like you.

Weight was 174.2 today

Scatter brained this week on vacation!!

Thank you for the thoughts and feedback.  I woke up feeling 85% better, so I went ahead with the run.  Felt ok.  I'm swimming tonight, and that always stretches and loosens things up a bit.  I'm basically just sucking it up until Friday's rest day.  LOL  Of course, I'll still be on my feet all day, cleaning and packing up this joint. 

Jen - a good plan should never have you doing hard workouts back-to-back.  This is particularly true regarding run workouts.  thus if you just did a super hard bike WO yesterday, you should not be doing speed work the on the  run.  hard workouts should typically occur after a rest day or an easy day.

It sounds, however, like you are just dragging.  HTFU.

You know what makes the biggest difference: training lots and consistently.  SHOCKER. But kelly already knows that.

I've done lots of bricks and few bricks.  Lots of training works better.

I did do a hard bike workout yesterday, and that's probably why I felt like azz.  My plan called for 6 x 35 seconds at 10k pace and 8 easy miles today.  I thought that was ok, considering it wasn't an all out tempo run or anything, so I did the fartleks.  But...yes, I'm dragging in general lately    

Here is the data for the weight loss challenge.   Only missing Jeff.

Dang, I wish my cruise pace was 7:34/mile.

I had a great run today too.  And I was happy to see my overall average pace was 10:35/mile.

I attribute all my recent gains to reintroducing speed work and training with folks who are faster than me.
