P90x Day 33 - Back and Legs

Things I got today.
- An acceptable workout
- A very long nap
- A pretty good day of eating
- Bronchitis

Yeah, you read that right. I have a case of bronchitis which explains why running yesterday was the worst thing I've done in weeks. I thought it might have been the cold or the fact that I haven't ran in a while but it was actually something entirely different. I'm not sure if the head cold I've had all week turned into bronchitis, or if it was playing out in the snow last weekend, of if it was the fact that sick people were at my daughter's party and one of them surely gave me this plague. Who knows.

Anyways, it would have been simple to use all of the above as an excuse to skip a workout. I mean hell I'm on Benedryl, Codine laced cough syrup, and anti-biotics who wouldn't be able to rationalize not working out. Afterall I'm sick, boo-hoo pity party. Blah blah blah blah blah.

So I put all those excuses into a ball, and swallowed it and knocked out a decent workout. It wasn't the best ever because I felt like I was about to fall asleep the entire time, but I worked up a good sweat and my legs are feeling it now so I'm glad I got it in.

I'm going to do Kenpo tomorrow but I'm iffy on the running. I know that I put running on the calendar and I'm suppossed to do it, but I've got to balance that out against skipping one run to give my legs a chance to recover. I won't skip next Tuesday's run, but tomorrow is iffy.

I don't know why I'm so rediculously determined to do everything. I haven't "skipped" a workout yet this cycle but I've cut a few short because of one thing or another, so it would be easy to justify it. I guess I'm just worried that I'll fall off the wagon and end up back in the non-workout zone. Either that or since my wife is going to do P90x after this if I can finish maybe I feel that I have to go out of my way to set the positive example so she'll have no excuses during her phase. I don't know if that's petty on my part or what that maybe I feel if I do this I can lord it over her during her workout or what. I have no idea why I feel so compelled to go so far and beyond what I normally do.

Anyways, I'm going to continue to med up and hopefully over the next week I'll be back to 100%. I'm looking forward to pressing plan on Kenpo tomorrow and to a restful healthy weekend.
