Yes! Finally!

Finally got that run this morning. It was everything I dreamed it would be. Would have been a perfect run, too, if it weren't for the left foot, left toe, left ankle and left knee pain. Have I been running lopsided all these years??

The running has come to a standstill...again. But in its place has emerged an extreme workout taking place at precisely 6:30 every evening in the Gandee household!

P90X...Ouch.

Move the couches, the coffee table, the rug. Pull out the weights that have made a home in the corner of my living room. The whole gang...all 5 of us...it's quite a sight.

We are into our third week and I have never been so exhausted from an exercise routine in my life. I've taken a break from the running due to a pain shooting through my foot. It has subsided somewhat, but I'm still feeling it linger.

I desperately want to run. Desperately. But this workout is incredible and it's keeping me in shape for when I do finally reach for Asics again. I'm praying for this toe pain to just go away for good.

Did I mention that I desperately need to go for a run? But I can't get out of bed in the morning, because this workout is kicking my behind.

Just thought I'd share.
