Phase 2

So today starts phase two with P90x. YAY!! I am so excited to start this again.  Last week was the recovery week and I did stretching, yoga and core exercise. Not bad but not too fun.  So this week is exciting for me. Now I am starting something new along with P90x. Running. I started to run 3 miles every other day. I have been working on the stairmaster for many months and I wanted a change.  So the treadmill it is.  It is still too cold outside for me to run out there but hopefully when the weather heats up I can get outside.  I am looking forward to spring just for that reason.  So the treadmill is my only option right now.  I have been doing pretty good with it at lunch times. I was working out in the afternoon but too many conflicts left me missing many days because of work.  So I am using my lunch time to go running.  I was able to go 4 miles on the stairmaster burning 400 calories in 35 minutes.  On the treadmill I can run at 6.5-7.0 and make 3 miles in less than 30 minutes. I just started so I have to work my way up to 4 miles...then maybe 5. I am not sure where I want my goal to be so I am just having fun.  3 miles is pleanty for me right now.  I can't believe how much I am enjoying running.  Maybe it is the sence of acomplishment or just that I am surprised I can actually make the 3 mile mark. So my saga continues.
