P90X - Week 2

I haven't been running, BUT I started P90X last week.  Today is the beginning of Week 2, and I just finished the Chest & Back workout.  I got off-schedule a little last week, so I did Legs & Back (plus Ab Ripper) yesterday.  Typically, you're not supposed to work on Abs 2 days in a row, but I needed to play catch-up.  I could only do a modified version of Ab Ripper today, since I'm bordering on over-doing it.

Anyway, I just finished up, so I've done my workout for today.  *This* is why it's better to get the exercising done first thing in the morning, so it's done, and you don't have to worry about it the rest of the day.  If you choose to do anything else that day, it's just gravy.

A Proud Attempt

I attempted a run this afternoon as my effort to enjoy the wonderful weather today.  It was a W2 run, but it kicked my butt.  I just went out in my neighborhood, which has hills, and found that I couldn't breathe.  The last half was definitely easier than the first half, but my right knee felt off track on several occasions, so I didn't push at all.  I just did what I could and took pride in the simple fact that I went out and did something active.

I need to get back to Body Pump and weight training to get the strength in my right leg back up to acceptable levels.  This lack of agility is starting to irk me, and there isn't much time left before my next test.  I even have to go back to sparring classes, so I really need to work on my endurance training over the next 10 weeks.
