So, this week is strange, it's recovery week. I was sooo getting into the hard workouts that it is really hard to slow down and recover this week. Feels strange. Well, I guess Tony Horton knows what he's doing so I'll trust the "X". That being said, I still felt like I needed more cardio on Day 23, 24 and 25. Sooo.. I ran after the workout on Day 23 and Day 24 and Day 25.

On Day 24 (yesterday) not only did I run for about 1/2 after the KenpoX workout but I also snuck in another cardio workout after work. I had been curious about the CardioX workout and was wanting to try it, so I did it after work. Starts out REALLY slow but I had a great sweat going by the end.

Today was XStretch and I REALLY felt like I needed more cardio so, like I said above, I ran for about 20 mins afterward.

I really can't put into words how much better I feel. All the warm ups, stretching and cool downs REALLY must make a difference. It sure seems like all my aches and pains are gone. I have not confirmed this yet but it even feels like my Carpal Tunnel is better. I can't remember any numbness is quite a while and that is rare. Is it the forearm stretches in XStretch? The Yoga? Who knows, but life is good.

One last note. I actually bought a Yoga block the other day. Only like 10 bucks a Super Target and so far it is worth every penny. I was using a Tupperware container and it wasn't cuttin it. This Yoga block is great. I must be careful though, I hear that this is a slippery slope. The Yoga block is the gateway drug that leads to feminine exercises just as Marijuana is to hard core drug use. The next thing you know I'll be buying one of those squishy balls women hold between their legs when they do Palates.

Oh yeah, I know this is a long post but one more thing...

I think I am obsessed with P90X. I spent quite a bit of time watching 24 or so 2 to 3 min videos about the making of P90X. They were here on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=JONandCARL

OK, I know I'm obsessed. I also watched this tip from Tony...

Motivation
How do YOU stay in the game?

And a bunch of the new "P90X Plus" clips on YouTube too. I can't wait to buys those! They look like an awesome next step/addition.

Phew, OK, that's all for now.
