P90X Introduction

Yesterday, since it was raining quite hard and Littles would have had to join me on a run, I decided to exercise inside instead. I put in the Plyometrics DVD from the P90X series just to get an idea of what I was in for, work up a sweat and feel good about staying inside.

I did about 7 minutes of it, maybe half of that holding Littles because he was crying, before I had to stop to tend to my child. After 7 minutes of Plyometrics, my legs were sore THAT DAY.

This morning, my upper hamstrings are quite upset. I'm looking forward to this new challenge after I run my race on Saturday. I think I'll finally have the guts to put up the "before" pictures for total accountability just so that I can gloat about the 'after' pictures in 3 months.

Sun's out today. Gonna run outside!

This head cold is keeping me from the road. All I want to do right now is breathe through my nose. That would be really great.

The weather isn't getting better. We're being told my local meteorologists that we may not see above freezing temps until well into March. Eek. I gotta get over this cold and get my training in.

Then, I think, after I get back on track and get this first 5K under my belt, I may look into starting P90X. First though, I need to address my food issues and what I'm eating. I eat way too much butter.
