P90x - running/throwing style! The long winter ensues...

Wow! E and I just did the P90x Chest and Back workout and my arms are frickin stuffed. Ab ripper topped it all off, of course. We listened to the Giants at the same time and had to interrupt a few of the moves to scream, jump, clap and generally show our fan-ness. Game 6 = intense.

Since the rainy season has begun (pouring for the past 24 hours), and I can't run, and E wants to be in better year-round throwing shape, we've decided to embark on another round of P90x with slight modification. We're generally following the Phase 1 plan but exchanging one of the upper body workouts and the kenpo X for running/throwing, allowing two days per week of sport-specific training. This, assuming the season will allow me to run in the rain! :-) I've been trying to remember to foam roll every day, and am committed to keeping my mileage down and my overall fitness level up!

So here's my general plan:

PHASE 1

WEEK ONE - October 23 - 29

Saturday - Chest&Back, AbRipper

Sunday - Plyometrics

Monday - Run 2 mi., AbRipper

Tuesday - YogaX

Wednesday - Legs & Back, AbRipper

Thursday - Run 2 mi.

Friday - CHILL :-)


WEEK TWO - October 30 - November 5

Saturday - Shoulders and Arms, AbRipper

Sunday - Plyometrics

Monday - Run 2 mi., AbRipper

WEEK THREE - November 6 - 12

Saturday - Chest&Back, AbRipper

Sunday - Plyometrics

Monday - Run 2 mi., AbRipper

Tuesday - YogaX

Wednesday - Legs & Back, AbRipper

Thursday - Run 2 mi.

Recovery

WEEK FOUR - November 13 - 19

Saturday - YogaX

Sunday - Core Synergistics

Monday - Run 2 mi.

Tuesday - X Stretch

Wednesday - Core Synergistics

I've got a copy of this plan on my desktop and will bold each workout completed. I've been drooling over the Canyonlands 1/2 marathon in March. The lottery is in November and I can't stop thinking how badly I want to do this race. How badly I want to resume running in the first place!

So, get in shape girl. Because you love it!
