man, have I been lazy! I don't know WTF has been wrong with me lately?! For instance...I slept in this morning...even though my alarm was set for 0430. Snooze city. I was supposed to hit my sixth P90X workout this morning (Chest and Back plus Ab Ripper X)...my first workout of week number two. Yeah...I cut out the Kenpo-X. I was supposed to replace it with a run, but I slept in that day...I did get out of bed and start to get ready, but my throat was bothering me, so back to bed I went. I feel so good after finishing a workout, and so terrible after sleeping in and skipping it. So...why do I allow myself to sleep in? I still have yet to figure that out.
Luckily, my work schedule this week has been a little flexible. Today was a slow day, so I was able to run home and knock it out. I feel so good that I was able to make it up and not miss another day.
My reasoning for getting back on P90X...well, I had been considering it for quite some time now. I was training Starting Strength and really enjoy the program. But I started thinking it wasn't right for me. I think endurance and cardio are going to fit my lifestyle much better. That, and...
...I ran my first Warrior Dash a few weeks ago, and it was a blast! It also kicked my @$$! I thought I was in pretty good shape leading up to it. I had even added some serious cardio workouts revolving around former Muay Thai classes. That mixed with Starting Strength barbell training, I figured I'd be golden. Oh yeah, and a little bit of running. W R O N G ! It was one mile before the first obstacle. My partners and I took off! We weaved in and out of people that had absolutely no running courtesy. I mean, it's common driving courtesy too. Must be the same @$$holes on the road that drive slow in the fast lane. If you're going to run slow, or walk for that matter, move the eff over! Slower people to the right...whether you're walking, running, or driving! By the time we got to the first obstacle, I was hurting. My lungs were burning and I was fighting to catch my breath. The first obstacle was one of the toughest. It was an over under obstacle. Jump over the wall, go under the log, repeat many, many times! I did fairly well, but I feel like I could have done better. I was done, sir done when I finished. I literally thought I was going to puke. If I had to go any farther, I probably would have. Gladly, it passed a little while after stopping.
So...I'm signed up for my second Warrior Dash...with not much time between the two. My plan was to hit P90X hard in between races...with a little bit of running. Hopefully, I'll feel a little better on the course this time around. This one will be a little bit longer by about half a mile.
My plan waaaaaaaaas to get 30 workouts in 30 days, but that's not been going very well. Maybe I'll add in some 2 a days...maybe not.
