Bring It to the end
Well yesterday I did my Yoga X, I even set my alarm to wake up before the family and get it done so that I didn't miss too much time with them. As it has been going the last few times I have done Yoga, it was not all that bad. Going into the right angle poses and the half moon poses really still put a good hurting on me but I can still get through it without too much of a problem. When I was going thought the DVD yesterday I focused on really getting low in my squats and keeping my back leg in the correct position to really get the most of out my workout. As always when I was done I was covered in sweat and felt really good. I finished and went out to the family while they were having breakfast and was in a really good state of mind and knew that it was going to be a good day and that is exactly what it was. As I was going through the day yesterday a thought came to me and it was that Saturday is the half marathon I am planning to do and so far the longest I have ran has been just over eight miles so I still need to find five more miles in my running distance so that I can get through the run. Today I am going to work through that and try and get six laps around the neighborhood which should be around 10 miles or so. If I can do that then I think I should be in pretty good shape for this weekend. I am trying yet another pair of socks in hopes that I don't blister on the bottom of my right foot like I have been doing. I am also going to swing by Fleet Feet some time this week and get a pair of the socks they say you should run in so that I can get thought the run without little discomfort. As for the name of the post, tomorrow starts my last training phase of P90X, I have four weeks of strength training and then a recovery week. According to the calendar my last day of P90X is on the last Saturday of the month. Today is picture and progress day. The first thing I did when I woke up was go and weigh myself and I gained about .3 lbs, not a whole lot but a gain none the less. One thing that didn't make me happy was the body fat calculators I have all said that my body fat percentage went up but I know just by looking at myself in the mirror that is not the case. I have been seeing more of the lumpy start to smooth out and according to the tap measure I lost about a half an inch from my waist line this month so it seems that the body fat calculators I have been using are not the most accurate. When I stop being cheap and at the end of the program I am going to get one of the calipers you use for skin folds to check body fat percentage so I can get an accurate account of my body fat percentage since I really have no idea what it is right now. I excited to go back to the original set of workouts next week but also worry about how Plyo is going to go since my legs are sure to be a little sore after today's run. One more thing I am worried about this weekend is doing the legs and back workout Friday morning and doing the 13.1 miles Saturday. I am sure there is going to be some soreness in my legs when I wake up Saturday so if I can get thought the run after doing that workout I will be very proud of myself then I can make up my missed Kenpo on Sunday. Crazy I know but I want to say I did the whole P90X workout without missing one.
