Ahhh, thank you. I was in the wrong section - didn't think to look at cardio!

I don't have a solution to offer but I notice this happening to me sometimes when it's hot and humid. Goes away when I cool down.

Rudie Can't Fail by the Clash!

*bangs head on keyboard*

Not where I thought this thread was going to go when I saw the title lol

I'll also recommend that it's good to practice the bike to run transition...find some time on occasion to ride for a bit then go into a run. It may be tougher than you think so good to get used to it.

I had a friend once tell me while we were running "Your body is really efficient at trying to cool itself."

Mine was 3 but the doctors brought me back. Up to 188 now after the adrenaline shot!

I hear good things about Apple Cider Vinegar...Every. Single. Week....on this site.

Tell us more about your job...are you a geologist? (Sorry... I couldn't resist...

I'm experiencing déjà vu all over again.

Do it! And if that wind is at your back you might set a PR!

Might I suggest you take a step back and look at the positive: You've lost about 1/2 pound per week over the last year and a half - that's awesome! 30+ pounds!! And it's despite the fact you've done "the weight loss thing on an off." Maybe it's not as fast as you are expecting/desiring, but that's great success...so keep…

Just curious - why do you say it's better to work out early in the day? I exercise at night during the week and mornings on weekends; as long as you're getting the exercise in that's good! I wouldn't think the timing would make any difference. Congrats on your loss to date and good luck.

The thread that won't die (dye?): According to this story, this product called "Easter Egg Cookies" had to be recalled because they do, in fact, contain eggs.

How about doing one small positive thing today to start turning things around, and build on that with one small thing tomorrow...don't give up because of one "bad" week!

Actually, I haven't. :) Ads do follow me at other websites, but all the ones on MFP seem totally random (looking a a home equity line right now, and something called Embeddables was on the last page). Maybe I can get a home equity line to buy lots of Embeddables and Walmart candy!

Speaking of Easter...I'm reading through MFP message boards and you know how ads are embedded at the top and bottom of each page? I just had one for Walmart advertising all their Easter candy specials. Weird website for this ads, unless one concludes Walmart wants me to fail! :(

I did EXTRA exercise on my birthday last week since it fell on a non-working day and, well, I enjoy it! Knowing some cake was in my near future was good additional motivation.

@tincanonastring your posts are giving me a great laugh today. Thank you! :D

I'll echo most of the comments here - just enjoy your first half. Worry about the distance, not the speed. I guarantee you'll set a PR! :) Then you can work on speed to beat it in your next race.

I like your list a lot. I definitely agree with the BEST item (being able to run). I had knee surgery and a broken foot over the last couple years and that put a definite kink in my running, but really made me appreciate every day I can get out there. On a whim I jumped into my first race in years this past weekend (a 10K)…

Seems like you got lots of helpful feedback based on your responses above, so I just want to wish you luck as you implement changes. You can do this!

The secret formula for mine: Favorite band = The Clash One of my favorite Clash songs = Rudie Can't Fail Can't Fail = Seems like and inspiring mantra for MFP rudiecantfail = user name already taken rudie = derivation of rudeboy rudeboycantfail = available on MFP = score!

When you say you get home from work and "have a few drinks" are you talking about alcohol? If so, and it's a daily thing, alcohol is a depressant and may be contributing to your "feeling almost depressed." You might want to think about cutting that back as one step. Aside from depression, personally I find when I drink…

Go for a short walk. Also works to fight off fatigue (at least for me!).

Thanks Chris and Virgo!
