No workout today, but I don't think I'll get any more workouts in this round of P90x. I'll summarize it in a blog at the end of 90 days, but in a nutshell I got 60 amazing days on the program and then fell off motivation wise.
However, the running is still going fine. I haven't missed a planned run yet since I put everything down on paper and I have ever run between now and October 11th on paper so there is no more guess work or excuses.
Today was a 2 mile run that I got in at about a 10:15 pace. Pretty average run but felt good to get out and go. I need to start post-stretching more. I'm starting to realize that.
Other than the failures on the workout front and generally disappointing eating habits things are good. My wife and I have been talking and when she starts P90x in 2 weeks I'm going to do another phase and cut my daily calories down to between 2000 and 2200. It'll be a struggle to start counting calories again I'm sure, but it's what needs to be done if I'm going to lose some weight. I'll be eaiser to lose weight in June/July/August because the runs are constant but aren't incredibly long yet. Toward the end of August all the runs are over 12 miles and I can't imagine a low calorie diet is going to be easy to sustain with the amount of calories I'll be burning. I still have a hope of losing 20-40 pounds before August so I can run. Of course with the way I've been eating lately it won't happen. But I just need to stop making those decisions, it's in my power to do so.
