One of my goals of 2013 was to run the Gate River Run. I'm happy to say I did that this past Saturday...and it was a great success. I had originally wanted to get under 90 minutes when I started training several months ago. In time, that became attainable and I reset my target to a sub 85. I was able to finish the 15k in 80:32!
It felt pretty damn good. Almost unbelievable. It's still hard for me to believe that I'm running 9 miles from where I was 1 year ago. I'm definitely doing it again next year, it was a lot of fun. Considering a half-marathon just so I've got something to work towards....we'll see.
I just finished Week 7 of P90x. Weeks 5-7 on the lean program repeat the same workouts. There are 3 strength workouts (core synergistics, chest/shoulders/tris, legs/back) and 2 cardio. I've been substituting the P90x cardio workouts for running.
Core Synergistics is my favorite workout, can do the whole thing now. Yoga X still sucks the hardest, spent after 45 minutes. I've been pretty faithful on the diet minus a few cheat meals. Weight is steady between 163-166 but shedding fat. There's more noticeable upper chest/shoulder definition. It's pretty exciting, first summer I won't be hiding.
Seeing positive changes motivates me to continue and really adopt a more active/healthy lifestyle. After the 90 day period, I'm considering doing either P90x classic OR going back to a standard gym routine. I don't know what I'm gonna do yet, but need to start thinking about that!
Do it, you can.
