    5. 2.53 (10/26) + 4.55 (10/27) + 20.13 (10/29) = 27.21
    6. 1.01 (10/31)
Rest days (aka days I did nothing): 3, 5, 11, 17, 19, 20, 24, 28

10/31 should have been a rest day but I ran, did Body Pump, went for a 25 minute walk, and then did yoga.

I only made yoga at the very end. Also I didn't lift weights for sessions as long as I would have liked.

  1. Hmm, my advice is to not be afraid to incorporate some weight training. Building muscle helps quickly burn fat and I know that a lot of women are afraid of bulking up but it is hard and rare to get that way even trying without 'supplements' of course-haha.

    Have you tried other p90x cds? I did the full day 1 and was excited to continue but my semester has been too crazy. I'm thinking of moving back to France after graduation so I need to cut sleep for P90x!!

  2. I don't mean to be or sound rude here but I do incorporate weight training and just because I'm marathon training my weight training is less. There just isn't enough time in the day to run and lift a lot of the days. And then with the marathon this month the week of and week after won't involve lifting. Also Body Pump is full body lifting so you can't lift at all the day before or day after. I used to do Body Pump Monday and Thursday and then lift on my own on Saturday. So since Body Pump was only offered in the evenings those 2 days the only other day to lift was Saturday.

    I've done some p90x. I don't have a chin up bar.
    I have also done Billy Blanks Tae Bo and Body Combat but with Marathon training I either run or do low impact exercise bike or elliptical. I'd had to twist or roll something so close to my first marathon so I'm more cautious.

    Last year I posted my goals in December. I'll have to compare that to this year when I make mine. I know I didn't meet any of those goals.
