I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

I forgot to post this. I ran to the boys' baseball games, sat in my own filth for a while, then ran back.

I got p90x3 today. I'm going to do it this summer again with my babysitter. I liked today's workout (total synergistics). I will probably get in a run today too. The workouts are only 1/2 hour long, so I will probably run too. I just need to figure out my rhythm. I thought about getting up this morning to run but it was storming.

There. Also ran 4 miles. A storm was brewing, so it was really windy.

Agility

Yoga

P90x Accelerator. We are modifying the Classic routine by switching out the one video that has all the pull ups in it with the accelerator.

Then I ran 4 miles. I might do a mile race at school tonight for funsies, It depends on how yard work goes.

I took the boys down to school to a mile race to benefit the xc team. We warmed up a lap and then I ran with the boys for the kids race. Caleb complained the whole time, but ended with a pr (9:30). Eli only complained a little, t never slowed down. He finished in 9:34.

Then I waited for the adult race. A couple dudes who were more serious than me wanted longer to warm up. I thought it was odd, since there were only 6 people running, but whatevs. I wasn't sure what I should go for. The other lady running asked me how fast I was planning on going. I said between 8 and 8:30, but when she said she would like under 8, I told her I'd run with her. I passed her about halfway through the first lap because I was feeling good. I ran pretty even, except for the third lap. I brought it back to end with a 1:45 four lap. I finished first, but there was only one other lady running. Then I cooled down with her and apologized for misleading her in the beginning. I felt good, but definitely could have busted it to go faster. Glad I didn't though.

I did the cvs workout and then ran 3 miles to the ball field. I then stewed in my own filth till Caleb's game was over. It was 9 by that time and everyone needed a bath, so I just drove home with the fam.

The warrior

Total synergistics

I did something this day, whatever was the next for p90x.

Ran down a bike/running trail in Luverne, MN. Was going to meet the fam int he state park, but partway through the run they came driving by to tell me that they wanted to go to a playground instead. It took me a while to find the playground that they were at, so I probably walked another half a mile or so before we reconnected.

I carried a kid through Jewel Cave. Lots of stairs, but really only 1/2 mile of cave traversed. What does that count for?

Does it help to know that there were 763 stairs? I can't remember the depth we went to. Does it also help to know that she really killed my lower back?

The Warrior. Back home. No formal exercise after I carried Charlotte through the cave. That really did a number on my back and neck. I couldn't turn my head to the left for a couple days. That made driving pretty difficult. We did hike a lot and were on the go from dusk till dawn. Saw everything in South Dakota but didn't meet Matt and his fam. I feel like a jerk for being so close and not arranging something.

Yoga and then 2 miles outside in the heat and humidity. Feel like I'm back at square 1 as far as running is concerned. But at least I can turn my head now.

I have done p90x every day this week, but we did it in a different order this week. I am too lazy to blog them separately, but we did yoga, cvx, total synergistics and isometrix. I like these workouts.

In running news, I am once again having trouble with timing of running. I have thought about several things: giving up running a lot of miles completely, giving up running in favor of p90x temporarily, running in the mornings and then doing p90x after work, running after p90x, running instead of p90x, running at 8 or 9. Right now, I'm feeling discontent with not running as much, generally until I am about to run. Then I could care less. But my run this morning was a good one.

3 with Eli on a bike. I think I left my watch at my mom's, but it didn't matter much. Eli dictated the pace. We stopped for a couple water breaks and then stopped to see Chuck's cousins, who just got into town today. The. We headed back. Eli liked biking in the dusk. He kept commenting on how peaceful it was, and how he liked the streetlamps.

I did the total synergistics plus abs. Then in the evening, biked with the boys. We biked the same route as yesterday, but with only two stops (one pretty long).
