P90X Dry Run Day 2

This morning's P90X workout was called Pylometrics. Basically it was a lot of jumping - for 55 minutes! Travis had to fly out to New York this morning at 6am so I got up at 5am to get my workout in before the boys woke up. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a morning person AT ALL. I was pretty proud of myself for actually getting up when the alarm went off.

P90X Dry Run Day 1

This morning's P90X workout was Chest and Back. Even though I don't have a pull-up bar yet and therefor couldn't do about a third of the exercises, my arms were jello at the end. Then after the 55 minute Chest and Back workout, I did the 16 minute Ab Ripper. It had some seriously challenging ab moves!

I'm already getting really sore. I don't think I'll be able to lift my arms up over my head tomorrow.

P90X

I'm going to take the plunge and start P90X tomorrow morning. This week will just be a dry run because I don't have all the equipment I need and I haven't had time to read the nutrition book. Then I'll start for real next week.

I took the pre-test tonight that's in the P90X and I actually passed all of the fitness qualifications. I also took my before pictures and measurements but I'm not posting those until I have the after pictures and measurements to offset them! My weight as of this morning was 131 pounds.

Runner's High

Yesterday I finally acheived what all runner's aspire too - running "in the zone." I started out on the treadmill with no goal in mind of how far I was going to run. I decided to just run until I felt tired. Five miles later I was still going and I hadn't even taken any walk breaks! I actually could have kept going but my ankle was starting to feel a little funny so I stopped. I haven't run more than two and a half miles in a long time so I didn't want to overdo it and injure myself.
