Today, in an effort to condense three activities into one, I decided to try bringing both dogs along with me for this run. In the past, I've run with one of the dogs, but stopped because having to deal with pit stops and other stuff was distracting for a run where I was trying to actually accomplish something. However, today I had no real goal - I just wanted to run an easy 5 miles or so - so I figured I mine as well try getting exercise for me and the two dogs all at once. I set out on a course around the neighborhood, which ended up totaling about 4.75 miles, so it was a little shy. It was a distance PR for both dogs. They made no attempts to cover it up either - during the short walk back to the house they were lagging behind a good amount.
For the P90X workout, this one is still pretty rough. Part of it is that I have 8 lb dumbbells, and I've been going with 6 kg for most of the exercises, because switching out weights is a hassle. So although 6 kg is a bit much for some things, such as the later tricep extensions - I am finding I'm making progress. Whereas before the weight was so much that form was sloppy AND the exercise was difficult, it is starting to get to the point where I can pay attention to mechanics and form a bit more. Granted, it is still rather sloppy, and the reps are few - but it is at least going in the right direction.
One more workout for this week (Back & Biceps) and then Phase II is done, which means a week of rest. W00t!
