running day dos...xx ( I wish!)

On the eve of Christmas....I'm posted a belated one. Yesterday (technically b/c it's after midnight) I ran again. :) 3.4 miles in 46:48 mins. Felt realllll good to run. I got my dad to ride his Trek on the path. I ran on sidewalk and very little street. Homeboy rode on the grass on high gears. I loved the fact that he made it challenging for himself. I love the fact more that he came with me. Been consulting w/ my fitness guru, CQ to incorporate P90X workouts with my running. Ill advisable but w/ modifications its doable. P90 is grueling and shreds (w/ smart eating) the fat and builds strength in your core. Oh how I want that! It can happen in time, I will just have to be careful in the combo action. Careful in the sense, not to overdo the body, Anywhere (for the exception of Sun) are modified P90x days. I'm thinking if I rotate 30-40 min upper, lower, yoga and plyo, I might be able to strengthen as I go. Regardless, the running will continue. It feels good to cover some miles. :) I like to look at a road and know that as the cars go by, I'm covering the same distance, but on foot. I feel so much connection to the Earth like that. I like that a lot.

Tomorrow (or today) is Christmas Eve. Which means I'm contributing to the economy with last minute shopping, preparing Menudo, and running another 3 miler. I'm down for the crown.
