Just dropping a note to say that I've finished 8 weeks of P90X so far. Last 3 weeks have been extra hard as I caused a flare up in an old injury from wakeboarding but didn't want to mess with my 90 day run. Last week was recovery week so I got a lot better. The real test will be this week.
I got a physical this morning so I'm interested to see what the results of all of this clean eating the past 4 months (super strict the past 8 weeks) and exercise does to my stats. Hoping for a bump in "good" cholesterol as it was low last time.
Did my first marathon yesterday. 4:35. With a 2:00 split at 13.1 miles. It was a very hilly course with 8 substantial hills. Went out too fast and paid the price in the second half. But it was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. The last 6 miles were pure hell

You are a beast man. That's a real accomplishment. A huge congrats to you!
I'm still sticking to my good habits. I've been feeling off lately with way less energy so I'm going in to get a physical myself tomorrow to be safe.
Thanks Todd! My body is tired too. Your body has to rest and recover, if it doesn't our muscles can't rebuild and grow, then you'll get injuries I was lucky to make it thru 4 months of 35-45 miles a week of running and 2-3 days a week of lifting without injury. I always took Fridays off and that's all I needed. I will get back running very light this weekend and lifting probably today. I did lose 6lbs in one day and it won't be hard to get it back. Only want to gain about 3 back
I think that may be part of it. My legs were aching last week. Between all my hunting and running I've been busy. It's tough to convince myself to take days off from work outs. It's just hard wired like taking a shower or brushing my teeth at this point.

My favorite teacher and philoshoper Jim Rohn always says, "The same wind blows on us all, it's the set of the sail.........."
Do you know where you're going or where you want to end up?
Sit down an write down a list of goals and spell out your philosophy. Short term and long term. Give yourself timelines to meet your goals and break them down into categories.
Some of mine for example:
Personal ----Invest life into life through sharing, Improve relationships with the right people, Continous education throughout life
Health ----Run a 10k, Fix my nose, Stay under 175lbs and fit for life
Financial ----Become a millionaire, Retire by 55, Bi-weekly mortgage payments
Business ----Educate myself to become a better leader, Track my business more accurately and adapt constantly, Develop a business model
We are programmed to need that carrot out in front of our nose to keep us motivated. You have to continually review your goals and philosophy and as you check things off the list, you must make new to grow.
I started keeping a journal about two months ago. I write down those great thoughts and days to reflect on along with some bad. You have to study your own life. You can't rely on your own memory.
If you don't have the knowledge or skills, read a book or take a class.
