wk 5, day 3 (8-10-11)
Today's goal: 8 mile run around 9:30 pace & P90X chest, shoulders, and tricepts
Cancelled on a friend last night on a 5am run. I knew that realistically I wouldn't be ready that early, maybe 520 or 530am, but not 5am. My alarm went off @ 515am and I didn't get up, in fact I didn't get up for another 45 minutes!!! I finally pushed myself out the door around 620am and ran for 8.02 miles. Did I meet my goal of a 9:30 pace? Nope. Did I care? Nope! Slow and steady was the name of the game today. I am glad I pushed myself to run this morning, but not too happy that I was so psychologically out of the game. I know I'll have good days and slow days, so I'm not going to beat myself up over it today's slower pace. I've already proved on Saturday, that I can run 8 miles with a 9min pace. I was competing with myself today and lost. No worries, though. I was content to lose to myself today :p!!
This evening, I completed the P90X dvd for today. the second 3 weeks of the program have began... my muscles are wasted! I did so many push ups! It was good to have my muscles feel spent. I need more upper body strength. I hate breaking up my workouts. I like getting them all completed in the morning before Xia gets up and the day begins. But, I have to commend myself for completing my workout today no matter how scattered it is!
Today's accomplishments: 8.02 mile run @ 10:26 / 1:23:48 + P90X chest, shoulders, and tricepts dvd
