I had a great run today. I pushed myself a little farther today. I've been sitting back on my 2 mile (or 30 minutes, whichever comes first) runs. I've been pushing myself in that increment of time, but, today I decided to increase my time out running.

I managed to keep up my 13 min./mile pace for the first 2 miles, but then my efficiency dropped off. But, even with that, I managed a 14 min./mile average for the nearly 3 1/2 miles. So, it's just a matter of building on that.

It was a little cooler this morning when I headed out, so my lungs were hurting a little when I first got started, but about 1/2 mile into it my chest and lungs felt better, and the sweatshirt came off.

Today I spent a lot of time (too much, probably ... when I look at the list of things that I didn't get done today) going over the nutritional aspect of the P90X program. I fit into the Level 2 category (approximately 2400 calories). I've set up 2 basic menu ideas (the specifics of either of them are changeable for variety ... I didn't write in WHAT fruit or vegetables I'll be eating) that I can easily adjust from day to day to give myself variety.

I've started my grocery list of things I need to buy. And, I've cleaned my cupboards of the "non-plan" foods that I don't need to have around to tempt me.

So, nutritionally I'm ready to start the program!

Goals:

1. Workout.
2. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
   
3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
4. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
   
5. Take my vitamins.
