It’s time to check in with my Down and Dirty Challenge. Quick post today, grabbing some lunch before getting back to work. Plus I don’t have much to gloat about this week…at all.
This week’s change: +1.2 lbs
Challenge total: -0.2 lbs
Not really surprised as I splurged a little this weekend and had a hotdog and some beers and didn’t exercise except Monday night. But on the flip side I did get my fastest mile yet 15:21! That’s twenty seconds faster then the week before! Woohoo. I can definently tell that the cooler temps are going to be easier to run in, I’m still sweating like a mother but not panting nearly as much. Tonight is another running night, gonna try to start a little earlier to get 2 miles in. This getting darker earlier thing sucks…confirms summer is almost over.
Don’t forget to check out my giveaway for a chance to win a Running Chics tank! I’ll be sporting mine this evening!

I think that every challenge we have had, I have had a week where I had a gain. That's life and that's how it goes. it doesn't mean that you can't get right back in the swing of this challenge and kick some ass next week. Congratulations on your new fastest time.

Even though you gained, it sounds like you have a positive attitude about getting back on track. Enjoy your run tonight. I agree with Brooke, I'll take shorter days for cooler weather any day of the week.

let's hope that the temperature will drop as quickly as the sun is these days! 🙂
we've both had a gain, but both know exactly what to do to turn it around. so let's get at it!! 🙂
