RUN 6.5 miles in 60-65 mins, commuting
Wednesday is supposed to be a midweek long run day, but I've changed it up to get 2 long runs Tues and Thurs, then a cross training day on Weds. I added the two a day to amp up the challenge. This doesn't sound like a big day, does it? 6.5 miles? With 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon? No, sure doesn't.
But this run home is amazingly hard. I want so badly to WALK. But I won't let myself. I slow way the hell down, but don't walk. OK, maybe I'll walk 10-20y or so on the hill up to the rez.
On top of the fatigue, it's always warmer in the afteroons. And my legs are already shot from the workday, heck I don't run well in the afternoons even if that's my only run of the day.
So there are plenty of reasons to do this. The heat, fatigue, dead legs, and lack of motivation--I'm going to see every one of those reasons to stop in this race. In any race, really.
As for the P90X, I did the PlyoX DVD with about 60-70% effort. The AbsX DVD I tried but had no motivation (or abs strength!) to finish. Combined with the fact that I needed to get to work, it just didn't happen. But I tried. I really need to get back into that habit.
