Well, today was the first day of week two.  I kind of dreaded it- not looking forward to all the sore muscles again (secretly hoping it won't be quite so bad).  I was getting ready in the morning and wondering how bad I really wanted this.  Is it worth 4 am wake up (or earlier) every day for 90 days?  I'm trying to keep positive and motivated. 

I don't want to lose my running base, but don't have time to run and p90x in the am (driving seminary home all week).  I'm going to have to run in the pm- but I think I'm going to keep my miles low until I adjust to the p90xhaustion.

I did a run around 4:30.  Just went in the hood.  It was a tough start.  I'm trying to work on listening to my foot-strike and keeping them even- I seem to have a tendency to drag my right foot a little when I set it down.  The first mile felt horrid, but it got easier and my pace increased.  Progressive run. 9:28, 9:07, 8:47, 8:15 (for the last .25).  The last little bit felt like it was pushing too much, but the 8:47 felt good. 

Later in the day, went on a 2 mile walk with MR.  It was cold out!

you are really doing it all and balancing it well - at least from the looks of it! Nice job, keep it up! It will be worth it, maybe not the lost sleep, but the buff arms :)
