Chest, shoulder, triceps plus abs. Two more weeks of p90x. I'm ready to get back to full time running, but I need a fall goal. Probably it will be to pr in the 5k. And really just to stay consistent. The fall is the busiest time for us.

I went to the doctor today. She was impressed by my resting heart rate.

The weather was awesome for this run. I ran sans watch, which was nice. I also ran sans corrective lenses. That was not so nice. I didn't realize how blind I really am.

I ran 4 pm miles. I decided to run on the treadmill instead of trying to navigate the dark streets without my contacts again.

I got some awesome new lightweight shoes, and today was the maiden voyage. I'm thinking they will be my sometimes shoes, probably for racing. I was a little nervous because I have over pronation issues, but for today at least they felt pretty darn good.

Ran later in the afternoon. It was hot and sunny, but with a breeze that kept me feeling okay. Ran 2 miles at just under 9 min pace, then sped up a little. Just really wanted to do 3 sorta tempo miles, so I stopped at 5 miles (next 3 were 8:29, 8:18, 8:08) to stretch a little and reset my body for easy running. Then my body decided it didn't want to slow down, so I stopped fighting it and just went with the flow. Last two were 8:31 and 8:19.

All in all it was a good run.

One more week of p90x hybrid, then we'll see what happens. I already plugged all my night duties in my calendar, and mine plus Chuck's equals a busy fall. It might be convenient to be able to fall back on some of the p90x workouts so I have another option besides the treadmill for late nights or nights when I can't leave the house because I'm alone with the kids.
