Start of Lent

So today is Ash Wednesday - the start of Lent, and while I haven't decided yet on whether I will give something up, I have decided on trying to add something good into my weekly workout routines. Prior to starting our marathon training, Kevin and I were almost done with P90X - one of BeachBody's workout programs. Of the 90 days in the program, we did all but the last couple weeks, as that is when the running took over. While I am thoroughly enjoying the added cardio that running brings, I find myself missing some of the strength building exercises from P90X and I think that adding some of these back in to my weekly routine will benefit my marathon training. Sooo, starting with this morning my goal is to add at least 3 days a week of core and strength-building routines in addition to the running schedule. Today's workout: Legs and Back P90X workout. Rolling out of bed at 5:30am to do this was no fun, but I have to say that I am happy I did it! Amazing to realize that even though we've been running I am 'out of shape' so to speak as I haven't used some of the muscles I touched on today while doing our running. Something tells me I will be sore tomorrow!
