This is p90x recovery week. We were supposed to do yoga today but switched to core synergistics since the boys had swim team earlier than normal. I kinda like this workout. I could see doing this one a few times a week to supplement running.

Did Yoga today. Survived the phases of the moon on my left leg without a brief rest. Did not on the right leg. However, this is still a vast improvement for me.

Kenpo.  This workout always goes pretty quickly.

This is recovery week before the last phase of p90x.  I am considering my options:

1.  Just finish as the p90x plan is written.

2.  Drop p90x in favor of running.

3.  Do the strengthening portions of p90x and then run instead of doing the cardio workouts.  So I think I'd be running 3 x a week (but would like to do 4).

I am leaning toward #3.  That will help me ease back into logging some miles.  Still trying to decide, though, what to do next week as I will be on vacation.  I can bring my weights and computer to do p90x, but I have a few running friends that go with me on vacation and I enjoy getting this time to run and visit with them every year.

These miles were in lieu of an hour's worth of stretching that I was supposed to do, but knew that it would just make me impatient. They were also very slow. You know it's going to be a scorcher when it's already over 80 at 6:30 in the morning.
