Recharge Weekend

I am recharged for a week and had tons of stuff to tell you AND I still didn’t say in my vlog how I did on the run this weekend.
I ran 7 miles in like 1:20 or so... fast for me. My friend was so quick that I had to slow her down multiple times by just stopping :D But I was so thankful to have company as those first few miles are such a chore until the adreline kicks in. I was so sore after in the knees. I really felt that my joints aren’t taking running in the cold as well as I would hope. (is it the climbing age?) Not sure so I started Sunday with fish oils and daily dates with the foam roller to see how that helps. T minus 2.5 weeks until 13.1 miles!!!
Another random chatting on my weekend was how great I feel after having a weekend where I had nothing required to do. WHAT A JOY! I highly suggest we should ALL do this once a quarter. I caught up on some blogs, reading, playing, cooking and running. All made me a happy camper with alot of perspective this morning. Shared my variation of this recipe today in the vlog. I made and froze breakfast burritos. I love them because they are homemade but fast and can really come in handy after a hard workout. I pop them in the microwave and ready in less than 2 minutes. Would love some links or ideas on what you do to eat healthy fast!! This one helped me sooo much today in not eating raisin toast for my post workout meal.
Also had a little chat on energy vampires in my vlog. Seems more of them are popping up lately... So don’t forget some extra garlic -ha!!
HAPPY MONDAY!

First of all chondroitin and glucosamine are the numero uno combination in combatting joint pain. I take several a day (on top of my regular fish oils). I was just taking one glucosamine w/chondroitin blend a day-and even when I would go a few days without, totally noticed it; when I started having the increased pain (from doing those damn drills) I upped it all-and I'm just saying..HEAPS better!
Second-to increase your pushups-I highly recommend doing them no more than twice a week-and just add maybe 2 on each week. I'm doing them just once a week and adding on 2 or 3 each week. A few years ago I attempted an online push up challenge-and it had me doing heaps of pushups 3 days a week; I did this on top of my normal weight workouts and screwed up my clavicle/shoulder/chest area. Way overdid it. But since I started this new personal challenge-doing it my way-I have had no pain in that clavicle area-woohoo! (I'm sure the gluc/chondroit has helped here too)
So, good luck! xoxo
