Around the World in 90 Days

OK, so...maybe not around the world.  But after tonight's workout, I will have officially spent 90 days building muscle and losing fat with P90X. 

I'm excited to post the "after" pictures tomorrow.  I've not felt this alive in a long time.  Unfortunately, with the injuries I sustained over the fall last year, I feel like I could have done better if I wasn't always so careful not to overdo it.  I feel as though I could have pushed myself a bit further, but I also feel like I was making the right decision to play things safe when it came to my legs.  The Boston Marathon is but 18 days away...I had to make sure that I was building myself UP...making it more possible for me to have a good run in Beantown. 

My training for Boston has been less than stellar as well.  But I'm hoping that the P90X training will help to make up the deficit in my semi-minimal run training.  I feel strong...but this nagging right quad pain is really annoying me.  I will be using a thigh compression sleeve at Boston, as well as some anti-fatigue supplements (Beta Alanine, Caffeine, and Echinacea) so I don't run out of energy before it's time to make the final push. 

So...with that being said, I take off to my last P90X session.  I'm confident that I'll look back and be able to pinpoint some ways I can improve my performance on the next go-round...P90X Doubles!!  Stay tuned...
