P90X Day 73 KenpoX

Another replacement day, instead of Shoulders/Arms today I did Kenpo. It's new years eve and I'm working on the resolutions for 2009. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIFE! You're aging like wine, not like milk!

P90X Day 72 Plyo

Knocked out plyo this morning, love this workout. Good sweat. Still kicking it at the beach, getting lots of outside time!

P90X Day 71 Yoga

Well I'm on vacation and getting to a gym is turning out to be more of a headache than I thought. So instead of the Chest/Back workout that was scheduled, I'm going to swap for the rest week Monday workout (Yoga). I can do those workouts without special gear and will still get them in this way.

P90X Day 70 Makeup yoga, run, beachtime.

Sister and I headed out to run down near the water this morning, did 2.3 miles to break in the new shoes. Got some yoga scheduled and family time to visit the ocean.

P90X Day 69 Kenpo and a drive

Knocked out Kenpo before leaving, then headed to the beach. Our 5.5 hour drive turned into a 8 hour nightmare. Seems everyone up north was headed to Florida, I have never been in traffic like that before. Kids held up pretty well though and we finally got there.
Dinner and a few soothing cocktails and all was well, then we fired up Candlelight Yoga with Sara Ivanhoe and went to bed feeling good.

P90X Day 68 Legs&Back, Abripper

I'm really tired of this workout. Have to sit and drive for 5.5 hours tomorrow and butt still hurts from Monday&Tuesday, so didn't really crank it today. Thinking about new challenges for 2009.

P90X Day 67 Merry Christmas

Took today as a rest day, will do yoga on Sunday. Happy Holidays.

P90X Day 66 Back&Biceps, Abripper

Not much to report, not an 'A' workout, sort of dragging this week. Not sure if still recovering from being sick or just holiday hoohaa. Oh well, next week should be better.

P90X Day 65 Plyo and Run

Okay, I understand the the wisdom that went into laying out the routines in P90X. Doing Plyo the day after Legs&Back was absolutely miserable. Wasn't up for the run, my glutes and legs feel like someone beat them with a meat tenderizer.

P90X Day 64 Chest/shoulder/tri, Abripper, Legs/back

Note to self, don't skip workouts. Doubling up is rough. Just owe a Kenpo now, think I'll do it Weds since tomorrow is Plyo and a run.

Feeling a lot better today, but boy am I tired.

P90X Day 63 Still not so hot

Well I woke up this morning and it was pouring outside. I said to myself 'great, I can gracefully cancel the run and have that off my plate.' Then about 9:30 the sun came out, it warmed up and I had to go anyway. No one from the neighborhood showed up but another buddy did with his whippets and the four of us had a good run. Actually felt really good afterwords but have started to sag now. I still owe a legs&back workout and Kenpo session. I WILL get these workouts in.

Went and got fitted for some new running shoes today, never done that before. I highly recommend it. These fit my feet differently than any I've ever had before, I've just bought whatever looked like a good shoe in the past. I was told I had really high arches and was asked a lot of different questions for what my running goals were and then had about 4 different shoe types to try out. Tested a couple on the treadmill some were 'nah' as soon as they went on the foot. The shoes I chose were twice as much as what I usually pay, but for marathon training I'm willing to get the right gear and negate any injury I can. I'm saving them for 2009 and will then log every mile I put on them. They're rated for 400-500 miles.

P90X Day 62 Still not feeling great

Feel a bit better, got Abripper knocked out anyway. Jury is still out on legs and back. I really don't want to skip it since I haven't missed one yet. May push it back one more day but that means tomorrow is leg&back, Kenpo, and the neighborhood run. Doable but maybe not pleasant.

P90X Day 61 SICK.

Been suffering cold like symptoms for a couple of days, hit me pretty last night and this morning. Taking some medicine today, going to inject my Sunday rest day here and pick up legs&back and abripper tomorrow.

P90X Day 60 Yoga and a run

Definately recommend picking up different yoga dvds to broaden the yoga horizon. I have come to really appreciate and respect this aspect of fitness, there is no doubt that I'm getting a lot more out of P90X by not ignoring yoga as I have in the past.
Legs are still sore but loosened up after two miles on the treadmill.

P90X Day 59 Shoulder&Arms and Abripper

Man my legs and butt are sore from yesterday! Good upper body workout, really like this workout. Upped the weight again.

P90X Day 58 Plyo and run

Good sweat today, have taken to doing the sports bonus with just my right side since I never ever intend to throw a baseball with my left hand. :)

P90X Day 57 Chest and Back

This is definately one of my favorite P90X workouts and it's cool to see progress being made on it. Have gotten a lot stronger with pushups and pullups, really cranked them out this time. Now if I can just stay away from the holiday goodies...

Day 56 Rest day, yeah right

Did not do XStretch today since there was a lot of yoga yesterday. Did yardwork and housework as well as 1.5 mile neighborhood run. Had two new people come, including the Mighty Tim for his first run evah he claims. I'm not so sure, he did pretty dang good for a first timer. Good run, good times.

P90X Day 55 YogaX

YogaX in the morning and Candlelight Crunch w/ Sara Ivanhoe for evening/relaxing yoga. Good stuff.

P90X Day 54 Core Syn

Decent sweat, this is probably my least favorite workout. Ready to hit the next 4 weeks hard. Getting excited about following up with P90X+!

P90X Day 53 XStretch and a run

A little out of it from the 2 hour time change, good to be home.

P90X Day 52 KenpoX

Hit it hard, great sweat. Time to get cleaned up for a 4 hour flight back home. Yay.

P90X Day 51 Core Syn and a Run

Well, no core syn so I really pushed it on the run instead. Really ready to get home, get back to eating something nutritional, and back into my routine.

P90X Day 50 Yoga

While not YogaX, I was able to stream a workout from netflix and workout in my room.

P90X Day 49 XStretch and a Run

Well nuts. I overlooked my P90X stuff when I packed. Hmm, will have to wing it. The hotel has a nice exercise facility so at least I got today's run in.

P90X Day 48, KenpoX and 4 hour flight

Headed to AZ today, good that this coming week is a recovery week. Should be able to get everything done in the hotel facilities. Glutes hurt.

P90X Day 47 Legs and Back, AbripperX

Just for giggles I did abripper backwards, was fun to shake it up and do it from memory. Legs and back are going to make my butt hurt all day tomorrow I bet.

P90X Day 46 Yoga & Run

Got some yoga done with daughter. She's 7 and is just sickeningly flexible. Sitting crosslegged she can lean all the way forward and put her forehead on the floor. I tried it and nearly broke myself in half. Oh well, it was a good workout and I was more relaxed when it was over with while she got to learn some new 'sentence enhancers'.

I'll run tomorrow.

P90X Day 45 Back & Biceps - HALF WAY

And I'm angry. Cranked this workout today and google docs didn't save 3/4 of the data. Oh well. Abripper went fine, I've got it memorized and may try doing it in reverse next time.
I think I'm ready for the next break week and/or I'm not eating enough - just don't seem to have as much motivation and enthusiasm this week. Maybe I'm coming down with something.

P90X Day 44 Plyo and Run

Not feeling super today, struggled with both plyo and the treadmill. Wondering if I'm eating enough, need to get back in the habit of tracking and posting.

P90X Day 43 Chest/Shoulder/Tri

Another day in P90X land, kicked Chest/Shoulder/Tris pretty hard and knocked out abripperX - haven't missed one yet! Not much to report.
