Day 77 and 78

So yesterday was originally supposed to be my rest day, but I did that a different day last week, so I did Yoga X with Joyful...I still really just don't like that workout.  It doesn't help currently that my left elbow has been hurting me when I do push-ups, so doing the first 45 min. of Yoga X is tough/painful.  The last half was actually kind of nice this time around, though.  The very end was super relaxing, which was great.

In addition to doing the Yoga X, I ran 5 miles in the morning before church.  The greatest part about that was that I knocked it out in 44 minutes!!!  I'm so excited that doing P90X has drastically improved my running abilities.  Running is the form of exercise that I really enjoy doing, and I've always wanted to actually be fast...with the help fo P90X, I'm on my way.  When I get done with this round of P90X, I'm going to be training full force for a half marathon at the end of September...I'm planning on sticking with exercise 6 days a week...running 4 and doing a P90X the other 2, and doing Ab Ripper X 3 days a week....I'm going to write my own schedule.  I'm shooting for a sub-2 hour half marathon.  I have to get it done at about a 9 minute/mile pace...if I could score a 1:45 half marathon, I'd be extatic...

Today I've decided to do what I should've done 78 days ago...I'm changing my schedule a little bit.  I'm making Monday be my off day and I'm going to work out on Sunday.  Monday is my long day at work, and by the time I get home, it's either really late, or pretty late...either way, working out is the last thing I want to do after working 12 hours on my feet.  So I'm not going to work out today...my plan is to wake up early-ish tomorrow morning and get out for a 3 or 5 mile run, and then do my P90X in the evening...
