Today is going to be quite the test for the Elite Recoup that I have been taking when I am done exercising, I set my alarm this morning for 4:15 and unlike last week I did in fact get up and go out for a run. When I started the run I had no pain or soreness (since I have not ran since last Saturday I guess) so I told myself that I would try and add a little more distance at the end of my fourth lap if my legs felt up to it. I got through the four laps around the neighborhood and decided that I had a little more time so I added a fifth lap around the small circle that my house is on. That got me to almost 7.4 miles ran this morning, which brings me back to my first point. I am feeling a bit of soreness in my legs and thighs after a run like that (as you might imagine) so I drank the post workout amount of the Recoup to see if it does what it is supposed to do and reduce the soreness and toxins that muscles release after a workout. Now that I got back up again I am a little upset with myself for slacking the way that I have been but at least I was doing something when I was not running.I forgot just how good a state of mind I get into while running and when I am finished so I am pumped and ready to start this week off right. Tomorrow morning I have my bible study at 6:30 in the morning but I am going to get up again and walk or do a short run (depends on how the legs feel tomorrow) so I can keep this post exercise high going. Like I said on Friday my birthday has come and gone and I had a great weekend, I did have to go to school for a teacher meeting that lasted all day and kind of sucked but other than that it was good. My wife got me a massage Friday night and it has mad my shoulder stop hurting for the first time in about a month. I did not get the P90X I was shooting for but did get a $100 gift card to Amazon and I was thinking about using it to get the P90X but I am cheap and decided not to since it was going to cost me about $50 dollars out of pocket. I have now decided to try something I tried several years ago with no luck that takes the same 90 days to complete. I am going to start the body-for-life challenge in two weeks from today. I know some people that have done it and gotten the same results as people that have done P90X. The best part is I won't have to buy much of anything to do it, just some visits to the rec center in the morning for the workouts. The reason I didn't have luck with it last time was the eating 6 times a day, not that it is all that hard since you can use protein bars and supplements to get to the 6, when I tried it last time I was still bartending and bartending is not conducive to eating 6 times a day. I don't know if the job I have now is much better since I don't know where I will be most of the time but I guess we will see. Keep an eye out for my body for life posts in the coming weeks.
