happiness is this right here

That's what Tony from P90X says now and again when he is getting you to hold some crazy pose and your legs are burning and the sweat is coming off your face...he says "Take your mind to another place and happiness is this right here..." It kind of makes me laugh. He is so goofy but he is so funny.
I held a chair pose for 30 seconds last night. And then a small break. And then another 30 seconds. I did!! I could not do the wall squats if my life depended on them....and the one leg wall squats? Forget it. BUT....was a good little P90X workout in my basement last night. My body moved in ways I did not think it could move and it is letting me know today.
This morning was a run. My main goal today, was to just....keep....running. Even if it is slow. Just run and do not stop, even when you feel like it. I ran almost 7kms!! Was a very good run. Starting to feel better about the running. I am entering in the 10km race this weekend and the instructions are "Run hard and run fast, redline, the whole way and this will give us a great idea of where you are at." Because honestly, I have had to start all over again with this running business. So here I go to a hard 10kms.....eek!
Next up is a swim tomorrow...I am going in early and going to try to get 4000 meters in....just keep swimming....
