Stumpled upon this Blog http://bostondiet.blogspot.com/ while googling the Kneeknacker, read his about section pretty amazing. This really makes me want to lose the last 10 pounds that are holding me back.

Feeling quite tired tonight, have to cut back on the caffeine I seem to be crashing and burning in the PM.

My recovery time from back to back hard days is improving significantly. Time to bump up the distance on the Sunday Long Run.

Ran the first bit with Tara had her work some hills and some 1k pick ups around Beaver.
Felt good at the end dropped the hammer for 10 minutes.

Ran the first 30 minutes with Tara, then did a 20 minute cruise interval (slightly harder then a Tempo) finished with a 14 minute cool down. Legs are a little cooked from the 2 strength workouts on Tuesday and Thursday.

Very, very windy. The ride home was brutal litterally had to lean into the wind once I crossed over to English Bay. Did a short run in Coal Harbour to shelter myself from the wind.
