I am in denial that today is the first day of training. I thought it would start off with a bang and I would be on cloud 9. It's been anything but!! First, I didn't sleep well last night, meaning that I didn't wake up before baby to get my workout in and complete. Second, I was fearful of weights and abs only 3.75 weeks post surgery & wasn't focused. Third, my head was reeling with thoughts such as: "I'm running a marathon in 18 weeks?!?!?!?" and "What was I on when I signed up for it?!!". Nevertheless, today is here. July 11th. Day one of training. No turning back. (Interpreted as: don't put it off until tomorrow. I've been counting down to this day for weeks. get excited - it's finally here! And, if I quit, it better be because I'm dead!).
I am proud to say what seemed like a failed day, turned out alright! I completed the entire P90X Chest & Back dvd and half of the P90X abs dvd (8mins total) during Xia's nap. The obvious were reviled: my body has healed quite nicely & I am ready to resume my workouts, my upper body is weak, my abs are even weaker (6 weeks off from abs really do make a difference)!! I was able to sneak in a 12mile bike ride this evening. I really pushed myself and it felt oh.so.great!
Today's accomplishments:
- P90X Chest & Back
- 8 minutes worth of P90X abs
- 12.02 bike ride @ 12.8 mph pace (56:30)
