Day 23

Week 4 - Day 2

CORE SYNERGISTICS
Ok so today I was sooo excited to do this workout!!! I was stoked!! I did it and I LOVED it!! I think I have found another one of my soon to be favorite workouts!!! By the end of it I was dead to the world!!! On the last exercise in the "bonus round" I was barely lifting my legs but I finished as strong as I could, and for the first time in a couple weeks I was stoked to workout again!!!! WOO HOO!!! Anyone that has been following my vids on You Tube knows that I have had a rough week or two with actually being excited about this program, well no need to worry anymore!!! I just got fired up again!! Thanks to Core!! SUPERMAN!! BANANA!! SUPERMAN!!! BANANA!! :) I suck at some of those pushups and I can't do a Dreya roll to save my life but ehhhh I will get there, gotta start somewhere. I have finally let down my stupid pride and have realized that I don't need to be perfect at everything the first go round!! This program is not only kicking my @$$ into shape, it is teaching me more and more about myself everyday!! It is showing me my strengths, and uncovering my weaknesses that I sooo desperately try to hide. No more!! I am not perfect, I will mess up and I will fail at something, and that is OK!! I am more happy than I have ever been in my entire life. I thank every one of my You Tube buddies, P90x, and a special someone that knows who he is!! YAY!! Life Rocks!!

I have also decided that I am going to try to start running. I have always wanted to be good at running, but I suck at it. I have always been too proud to just do it. I thought that about Yoga but I stuck with it and now I am doing so well and actually love it!! If I can do that with Yoga then I am sure I can do it with running so I am going to try running as my next endeavour!! I live in Lakeview in Chicago and I am about a block from the lake itself. There is a beautiful path that runs around the lake to go running on and I have only utilized this path once!! That one time I ran from my place to the Beach and it was amazing. I had been smoking for a little bit since then and I am a little worried about my lung capacity but I want to do this so I will!! I am taking a tip from a friend who runs, and am going to start out slow. I will probably start out alternating run/walk for a mile or so and slowly work up to running full miles!!

Let's do this!!
X - IT OUT!!!

Combining running with P90x is great combo -- especially to rid that "buffer". I just completed my fourth Half Mary, but first race on P90x. P90x makes you such a better or "tougher" runner with all the lunges the hills are like "was there a speed bump there?" Couch-to-5k or a Run-Walk system (like I just started my 14yo doing) is great to build to up to higher miles.

Keep pushing play!
