Double duty

This morning was the first half of my double routine.
P90X
Plyometrics
Killer
My resting probably means I made it through 65% of the routine
I am still tired and weak 2 hours after I finished the routine
My pecs are sore where they attached near the clavicle
Tonight I have mile repeats
In 8:11
Only 3 of them (thank you running gods)
One will be sort of easy
Two will be hard
Three might be impossible


I can very much see that if you do the routines you will get in shape. I am hoping to build some up body muscle but most importantly build core strength. A stronger core makes a stronger runner. I'll see the difference in 88 more days. I took measurements last night and will take them at 30, 60 and the final 90 day end of workout.

I feel like I am dieing.

Day 1 until the end

I own P90X. Yea, I blew the money on it. I have watched a few of the DVDs. Even the warmups are tough. 
But this is the Beginning ofthe End. 
Remember.
Oh, why is this the beginning of the end?
I am tired.
I hurt.
My painful right shoulder hurts.
My left arm hurts more trying to over compensate for the right.
But I did the best I could.

Here's a quick rundown - 
15 minute warmup, normal pushups, wide grip pullups, military pushups, reverse grip pullups, wide fly pushups, close grip pullups, decline pushups, heavy pants, diamond pushups, lawnmowers, dive bomber pushups, back flies. And then we did those 12 in a different order. 5 minute cooldown. If you wan tot see detail and descriptions - go here. My user is RunningFirst at runningahead.com. 

So, tomorrow will be a rough day. P90X - plyometrics and FIRST training of mile repeats. I am trying to decide which to do in the morning and which for the afternoon.

Let's see if I can continue this.
