Happy Monday - Fall is here BRRR!

I woke up this morning and it was 64 degrees in the house--BRRR! Time to throw on the heat. This is going to be another non-video post. I will spare you the short long rant on why but suffice it to say - I will not be shopping at Best Buy any more. #CustomerServiceFail.
So onward. I had a GREAT training weekend. I took Friday off but the did a kick butt bootcamp on Saturday and encouraged some friends to go so I was sure to get out of bed. Kelly of course went with me - she was her usual comic relief self but still got her BUTT kicked ;) She was very excited to be so sore yesterday but sadly we didn't get together to vlog because she needed the rest.
Yesterday I was suppose to do a 6 mile run and I so didn't want to get off the couch. I tried for 6 but only got in 4 and mostly with the run/walk. I tried compression socks for the run because my ankles and calves were so tight from bootcamp. I felt like that really helped get me moving and to the warm up stage. I think I will definitely use them again. I am trying to get use to running in the fall weather but yesterday my ears were giving me a brain freeze. I need to find some ear thing that isn't winter wear. (yes I am constantly looking for running clothes and accessories. It's a sickness)
I started Friday taking 5mg of Glutamine every day (Thanks Chelle!). I need to do whatever I can to decrease my recovery time. Doing both TRX and the bootcamps means I eventually am going to have to put a short run on the same day as one of them. I'm also thinking of a the recovery compression pants to help my legs stop throbbing in the middle of the night. :) I won't tell you how long it has been since I have even thought of a two a day.
I watched the DVR'd versions of Biggest Loser last night. Wow. It really got me excited to continue to build a community in real life and online to keep each other moving! I think I'll save the rest of the thoughts on that for tomorrow's post.
Make it a GREAT week!

My pleasure babe, i'm glad its helping ... I've finally got my running mojo back and LOVING it, so good for clearing my head! I have no plans on tackling any monsterous distances like you and Miss KO so i am focussing more on speed over 2-3km.. Gotta love that runners high!... In winter i wear Body Science Compression leggings (its spring in Aus and already 30degrees - 86 F, so little hot pants are all i can handle lol) and find that they help heaps in reducing lactic acid build up, plus they look cool ;-)
Amy,
