I forgot to post about my run this past Monday. I’m still chugging along with P90X, but with my running, I feel like I’m taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
Monday was week 3, so it was 90 seconds of running followed by 90 seconds of recovery walking, then 3 minutes of running followed by 3 minutes of walking. Did that twice. Well, not really. I could only run for about 60 seconds on the last 3 minute interval before my calves and shins quit. Not so bad.
The best part about it, though, was that I could smell Spring in the air! I had my 2 boys with me - my dogs Cubby and Vader - and even though there was still some snow on the ground, and some of it was pushed into dirty mounds on the streets, and it was only about 32 degrees or so, I still smelled Spring in the air. And I was very happy! I have this thing where I can smell the weather. Is that unusual? I can smell a rain or thunderstorm coming a day or two before it’s due to arrive. My husband has learned not to doubt my sense of smell, because usually I’m more accurate than the weatherman.
Anyway, I digress. I’m just very excited about the coming Spring. Not so excited about trying to figure out what to do about this running. Well, I am, but I want to run so I guess I just have to figure out a way to make it happen.
P90X is going awesome. I’m in week 5 and today is legs and back. I’m not seeing much difference physically yet, but I am stronger and I can do way more pushups and pullups than I could at the beginning.
