Much better thank you!

Didn't post yesterday because it was my Tuesday rest day. I set the alarm nice and early yesterday because I really wanted to run but and blow off a little steam but it was raining in the morning so no run. My wife was very supportive though and let me go out for a run after  I put Haley down for bed. I remembered one thing yesterday and learned another while I was doing two laps around the neighborhood which turns out to be right about 3.5 miles. The thing remembered was how much better I feel during and after the run, it was nice even for only about 30 minutes to shut off the rest of the world around me and just focus on the strides and distance I was running. What I learned was that I need to get my running legs back, when I was running more I could bang out 5 miles without a problem and I could have gone a bit longer yesterday but I wanted to get in the house and this morning shins and left hip are a little tender. I really need to find the time to work on my running again so I totally see myself doing a little more running the week I am not working either job.

This morning was Chest and Back and I was ready for it. I wanted to really focus on rep count and work on progressing a little more and that is exactly what happened. Pretty much all of my push reps went up, and all of my pull up reps went up with AND I was able to get more reps done without going to the chair for help so I am really confident I will get to the goal of 10 unassisted pull ups when I am done with this round of P90X. As a matter of fact I am on the tail end of it now, today was day one of week nine so I only have a little over 5 weeks left. I am even going to be adding to the resistance of the back exercises that are not pull ups the next time I do this workout and a few weeks. Tomorrow is cardio and abs again and I am wondering if I am going to go after the Bob Harper cardio again and see if I can get through it or if I am going to go cardio x. My leaning is for the Bob video but we will see how I feel in the morning. If I go Bob I am running the full Bob gambit, Ultimate Cardio Body followed by Yoga Abs. Only this time I am going to be finishing the abs. I guess we will just have to see how it goes. Off to work now, I am in a much better mood than I have been in a little while and feel much more relaxed (thank you run) so today is going to be a good day. Just wish I didn't have to go in ITT for a manditory (yet unpaid) meeting. Until tomorrow.
