5x600 then Core Syn

RUN: ~50-55 mins and ~5.3 miles
STRENGTH: P90X Core Synergystics
COMMUTE: 5 miles from DB Chevy

In trying to figure out my constant fatigue lately, we found that my sleep pattern has changed with the dog. She wakes me up around 4-430am. To counter balance this, I need to be getting to bed around 8-830, something I haven't been doing. So I'm making an effort on that front to see if it helps.

I also tried for the first time today the BCAA's we purchased over the weekend, to see if consuming those during my strength training sessions help out. I tried 1 scoop today in a bottle, added more than the recommended 6oz of water, then flavored it with a squirt of lemon juice. That didn't seem to ppt out the proteins like I thought it might. Hey, I'm no protein chemist. So it was an experiment all around.

I'm surprised at how far the sun is up at 6:15am, the day is in full swing! I thought I'd be alone to day since the rest of the group is racing this weekend, but BE did join. I let him pick the workout--5x600's with a 200 walk/jog. We mostly walked. He timed my 600's at 2:36 ish, and the pace calculator says that's a 6:58 m/m! Really? That's a lot faster than the 400m intervals last week.

Then back home for the Core Syn DVD. It was good, kinda boring, not very satisfying overall as a fatigue-inducing session. But measured as a what-was-I-good-or-bad-at, well that's a different story. Some moves were too easy and some were just downright awful. Like the banana (shoulders, arms, and legs up) was WEAK. And that's what keeps me coming back. Finding and fixing weaknesses.

Then a commute in from DB Chevy. It's uphill most of the entire way back, so plan ahead for that!

How did the BCAAs work? Still seeing how it goes.
