I did not do day 5 on Friday, so instead I did legs and back in the a.m. along with abs.

Kenpo reminded me of Taebo. Week 1 down. 12 weeks to go.

Chest and back + abs. This was much easier than last week. However, my abs are sore.

Plyometrics.  

It was nice this morning.  I worked out in the morning, but still got to sleep in.  Summer hours started today. Didn't have to be at school until 9 :) 

Now that school is (finally) over, I'd like to add some running back into the routine.  Probably not until Thursday, though.   Won't run every day, too, but thinking that strength training days would be good days to run.  I'll have to play around with it, though, because I'll be doing p90x in the morning and running in the evening.

Yoga in the morning Then I finally got out and ran. Eli came with on his bike and we stopped at the park. The run felt slow just because Eli is a little slower on the bike. But it felt fine. I am ready to start putting in some more miles.

Kenpo and then 4 miles. The 4 miles felt slow, but I wouldn't know. I can't find my garmin anywhere.

I'm definitely behind on blogging.  I think it's because I'm not logging miles.  Still struggling with that.  Weaning.  Ya know.

In my blogging laziness I did not say yesterday that I did chest and back + abs.  Today was Plyo.  I enjoyed it much.  I can tell that I have improved since the first time I did this.  There was much sweat.

Ah, the joys of parenting mistakes. We debated and debated, and the finally decided to buy Caleb an iPod for Christmas. First he broke the screen, and he saved up enough money to pay for it. We haven't fixed it yet. Now it won't charge because somehow the prongs on one side got bent, probably from someone trying and failing to jam it into the speakers we have. It may or may not have been Caleb, but regardless, we made a mistake. Now we are not sure. Fix the iPod? Consider it an expensive mistake and use the money he saved for something else? Grrr.

In working out news, today was shoulders and arms + abs. This was the best I've done at this workout. Even the abs felt easier today.

Yoga. I don't remember the yoga abs portion at the end of this (I know last time I had to stop about 15 min early so I could be on time for something at work). I liked it today.

Let's play a little game. I went to the store and bought sudafed, shredded cheese, breast pads and a cabbage. 3 of those things are related. One is not. Why did I buy those things?

I was not very faithful to my routine while we were on our trip. I did run a couple times, on a treadmill, on a cruise ship. That was pretty weird. I could feel the ship movement. The running was not hard and I was able to pick up the pace even though p90x has overthrown running.

Today it's back to p90x. Chest, shoulders and triceps + abs.

Plyo was really difficult this morning. I hope it's because my head is stuffed up. I'd hate to think I lost something last week.

Yoga in the morning.

Then, shamed by Bob, I managed a nice evening run. 8:50 ap. i need to be consistent w running, but there's the Nagy mom voice that frequently tells me that an hour + p90x workout is all I should carve out of my day. Not saying the voice is right, but it is loud.

Kenpo. I like that workout. Then I took the boys on my run.

The weather was beautiful, but the run was not. Here were our stops:

1. Eli had to be reminded that he really needed to look both ways while crossing the street.

2. Eli needed to itch his head.

3. Caleb took a pretty nasty spill while riding in a circle in a parking lot. That was a long one. Chuck came and picked him up. Eli and I continued.

4. Eli had to ride down the "big hill." We were turning right before we got there.

5. Eli made me stop so I could tell him why our car was parked down the street. It wasn't our car,

6. We had to strategize how we were going to handle crossing a long series of side streets. I didn't want to stop at every one. But I didn't want to contradict stop #1.

7. Eli needed to itch his head.

8. Eli needed to stretch his back.

And that was the first 3.4. Then I dropped Eli at home and finished. Needless to say, this was pretty slow. But nice bonding time.
