With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

p90x stretch.  I slept so much today.  I was afraid I'd be up all night, but I slept all night too.  Thank goodness for week-ends to catch up on sleep.

starting session 2 of the p90x workouts today.

This one was chest, shoulders & triceps.  All 3 are weak spots on me.  Push-ups still suck.  I try, but still look silly and not at all like I should. 

Then ab ripper x again.  I didn't miss it last week at ALL!!

Then I hurried out for a quick 2 mile run before getting ready.  Avg pace was 9:17.

Hope for more run later. 

4.04 after work.  It was beautiful outside.  My miles were around 9:30, 9:25, 9:04, 9:06.  I was glad mile 2 was faster than 1 because it involves a quarter mile climb. Mile 3 was down hill that same climb so it was easy to make it faster, and I was happy that I managed to get mile 4 in almost the same time without the downhill to help.  All 4 miles were hard for me- my legs were tired.  I was happy when it was over and I got make dinner.

2 mile walk with MR in the evening.

Lots of early morning leg work.  Plyo X and then I did a quick wardrobe change (into a dry shirt & my good running shoes). Went off with my neighbor for a 4 mile run.  By mile 3 I was spent.  It took a lot of work to finish that last mile, but I made it to the end :-) Finished stretching & was home by 5:40.    I hurried & took a shower so I could get a quick nap.  Why was it the morning people needed to text me?  I think I got 10 minutes of sleep.  Better than nothing :-)

Now I'm hungry.  Thank goodness our sugar daddy brought donuts in this morning.  Krispy Kreme filled with fluffy white stuff- my favorite!  You know on one of the p90x videos Tony actually says "No Krispy Kreme."  Guess what Tony?  I ate one and I enjoyed it!!

Stop the presses!  I didn't get up till 5 am today :-)

p90x back & biceps.  This is the last "new" video for me.  I've done the cardio before, so now I've offically done all 12 videos.

It was a good workout, but I wasn't sweating as much as I do with the other videos.  Tony called it the "vanity workout."  I did 20 minutes on the elliptical when it was over.

My hip was terribly sore last night, so I am letting it rest today.  No running.

Today is MR's birthday, so when he told me to sleep in, I did.  Just to make him happy :-)  Sometimes we have to sacrifice for those we love. 

I did get up at 4:30 & got yogaX done, dropped off mini me, and went to the birthday breakfast at the awful waffle.

It won't be a good diet day for me.  Too many cookies & too much cake.

Ran with MR after school and a quick nap.  It wasn't a good run- just one of those runs that you struggle through the whole time.  Glad when that was over!

Tasty sushi for dinner!

p90x legs & back, then ab ripper x.

Not much in the mood for any of it- but I got it done.  Long-ish run tomorrow.

Slept in hoping the rain would go away.  It did lighten up, but we still were wet to the bone.  I ran 7 with MR, then he had to go pick up little buccaneer so I did 2 more.  I wasn't going to, but I got a text from my friend training for the Nashville 1/2.  She's raising money for Gilda's girls and she did her first 9 miles.  I was inspired by her effort and figured I could do more.

Soppy wet sloshy shoes, but not a bad run.  The light rain can be nice sometimes and the sun actually came out for the last 2 miles.
