I didn't think I was going to get out today.  After scouts, I came home and I needed a run.  I decided to try out my new running flats.  I like them!!!!  Maybe it was all in my head, but I felt light on the foot and unrestricted.  I did a tempo run down the virgin river trail from Manowar to the Dixie Ctr.  My first split (3.1 miles) was 23:55.  On the way back, my second split was 23:34.  I was only faster on the second split because I knew I didn't have to conserve energy for another run.  This run is equivalent to my 10K pace (7:40-7:45).  I bet I can run a 10K a lot faster than this.

When I came home I jumped in the pool for a cool down.  Then I turned on my new p90x program and tried out the yoga x.  I liked that too!!!  Most of the moves and positions were fairly easy.  In the future, I will do the advanced positions so I can really sweat.  Don't get me wrong, I was sweating like a pig during the p90x.  I just like to push yoga as far as I can.

I'm hoping to try P90X soon. I hear there's a business side to it, too.

What is the business side?

I am just playing with p90x right now. I'm afraid that if I jump into now I could injure or slow down my run for the St George Marathon. I definitely will go all out after the race!

Well, Beach Body is the company that puts out P90X, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, and a handful of other work out videos. They also make the supplements that go along with the videos and Shakeology. I guess if you sign up to be a coach, you get 25% off all your purchases and your customers get 10% off from ordering through you. I'm actually trying to get set up as a coach, but there is a start up fee that I need to save up for.

But I agree that it's probably safe to go all out on P90X after the marathon training.

Your right... I forgot about beachbody.

I watched the whole back/chest video the other day and I had sore shoulders from just watching. There are some intense workouts!!! Yikes!!
