P90X 1:00:00 [2]
P90X Stretch-X workout. This is the "rest day" workout for this program. It was a very good set of stretching exercises. I did this before my run and was very loose and ready to run.
Running 45:00 [4] 5.3 mi (8:29 / mi)
Run with Andrew. We went a lot farther today in our 45 minutes then last time. It was kind of cool but very humid.

P90X 58:30 [4]
P90X Kenpo-X workout. Another great workout that is basically Tae Bo or kick-boxing which I've done many times before. Lots of kicking which I need to work on to get the kicks higher.

P90X 1:12:00 [5]
P90X Legs and Back. This is just a grueling workout of different types of squats, lunges and pull-ups. Followed that with the Ab Ripper-X workout which has abdominal exercises I've never seen or tried before. This was extremely hard workout.
Cycling 59:00 [3] 14.25 mi (4:08 / mi)
Bike to work today on the fixed gear bike.
Running 20:00 [5]
Today's a running day with Andrew and we had limited time so started up the intervals again. 12 intervals of 30 second sprint/60 second walk.

P90X 1:27:00 [4]
P90X Yoga-X workout. This yoga is the real deal. It hits all the yoga moves and then some. Great for flexibility, balance, strength. Also very relaxing. It was nice to have a slightly easier workout then the first 3 days of P90X. Tomorrow it's back and legs - I can only imagine how much pain that will be!
Cycling 1:00:00 [4] 14.25 mi (4:13 / mi)
Bike to work today. This is 20 days straight of pedaling to work! I never thought I could ride that many days in a row. I think it would feel strange to drive my car to work now. It just sits in the garage all week without burning a drop of gas.

P90X 58:00 [5]
P90X workout - Shoulders and Arms. Another very tough workout consisting of super-sets for shoulders, biceps and triceps, repeat, rest then another set with 3 different exercises.
Cycling 58:00 [3] 14.25 mi (4:04 / mi)
Bike to and from work on the fixed gear again. Very nice weather.
Running 45:00 [4] 5.25 mi (8:34 / mi)
We added another 5 minutes to the evening run.

P90X 56:30 [5]
P90X workout. Tuesday is Plyometrics-X or jump training. Holy cow it was really a tough workout. I could not match the reps or speed the first time around and was just dripping with sweat. I'm glad this is just once a week. I'm anxious to see how I do after a few weeks - will it get easier?
Cycling 58:00 [3] 14.25 mi (4:04 / mi)
A leisurely ride to work on the fixed gear bike after the brutal plymetrics training. Actually I find it only takes about a minute longer on the fixed gear bike then the bike with 24 gears. I guess when you don't have to worry about what gear to be in you can just pedal.

P90X 53:52 [5]
First day of P90X. The Chest and Back workout is first up. This is 6 different push-ups, 3 types of pull-ups and 3 dumbbell exercises. You just do as many as you can during the countdown for each exercise. There are two rounds. It was a killer! The motto is "just do your best and forget the rest!". Yikes! 89 days to go on this program!
Cycling 58:00 [3] 14.25 mi (4:04 / mi)
Bike to work on the fixed gear bike. I intend to take my cross bike into the shop for some work this week and ride the fixie to work. I was worried about a short very steep hill on the way home but I made it up while almost coming to a standstill. I need to perfect my climbing technique on that hill.
Running 40:00 [4] 4.5 mi (8:53 / mi)
Run with Andrew after biking home and a short rest. I felt OK considering the workouts I've been thru today.
