They even thought we were trying to lose weight because the airlines are talking about charging people by their weights. :P Well, I think the change was very obvious!

I am coming to the same conclusion that I need to have more rest days - but it is hard not to go for a run now. Like you, I should get the bike out more often too - but that is harder in the dark and wet of winter. It does sound like overtraining to me.

I wonder if its like hitting the hall where your body runs out of its carb stores? Good that you are listening to your body - very sensible. I’ve had the dead legs thing happen to me once.

Not enough rest has always been the cause when I get them. Just out of curiosity how much is daycare a day in Australia?

I think I'll reinstitute them and only run every alternate day. Cross training for me on the other days. They did and I did skip my rest days this week.

I agree with Cammy's post though...just in case they don't notice... I like coming back and reading your blog...it's very inspirational to track your progress and see how well you've done. I'm into weight lifting and building muscle myself, but it's a similar struggle so I can relate. Keep it up!

I had dead legs on Sunday, and I've read similar reports from other bloggers recently. :) If the grandparents don't notice the tremendous difference 50 pounds has made, I'm not sure I'd want them watching my child. :) Hmmm, I suppose it could be overtraining, but it’s also possible that there’s something sinister going on in the blogosphere.

I read something recently saying that we only improve in the rest periods between the runs, no on the runs themselves. Interesting way to think about it. Oh and I bet they'll notice those 50 pounds!!! Take care to get that all important rest.
