Really. It's Not You, Tony... It's Me.
A lot can happen in two weeks. Here are a few beans from the pot:
First, the aforementioned and raved about P90X is officially going back from whence it came. I made this decision the other day when it proved abundantly clear that first thing in the morning, in the black stillness that is absolutely the morning here in the Midwest come November, the last thing I want to do is interact with anyone -- virtual, or otherwise. I need peace and quiet, and most of all, no one trying to be witty in my general direction before 6:00 a.m. That said, I'm sorry, Tony... you're a vascular bundle of hilarity, it's clear you love your work, and you have great hair. It's not you. Really. It's me.
Don't get me wrong, the product is good save a little informercial cheese, but I'm just not a "workout to the TV" kind of gal so much I guess, let alone at the unholy hour of 5:00 a.m. I did a little thinking about why exactly this might be, and came to the conclusion that the whole reason I workout at all is so I can have some time alone in my head. Suffice it to say, I can't do that with someone yapping instructions and/or clever commentary at me from the other side of a screen. I'd much rather run or do Pilates or other strength training stuff like that, as these kinds of things serve both the time in my own head purpose and the exercise purpose.
Anyway, sorry there won't be any play by plays for P90X after all, guys, but I am geeked about winter training again all the same. I have plenty of dumbbells, kettlebells, a phisio ball, my bike, and a new(ish) treadmill, not to mention a stocked season with a spring half marathon, WIBA, the Rev3 half-Ironman and the Grand Rapids Marathon ahead.
And with that, I have four miles to see about come morning, so here's to crunching some leaves out there while I still can...

I hear you. I don't know many people who aren't doing P90X - but I couldn't workout to someone on TV either. I need my time alone to just think about nothing. Good luck on your winter training!
Do whatcha gotta do girlfriend. Sounds like you have a solid plan in place. Keep me posted on all of it!
