“Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Winston Churchill

Recently, I started P90X hoping it would be easier on my shoulder than Insanity.  The workouts are definitely different!  I don’t find P90X quite as intense as Insanity, but have only just started the program.  There definitely seem to be more breaks so far!  Thankfully, the motions are all very controlled; and I have made it through more than a week with my shoulder still holding up.

That being said, I have been hammering out assisted pull ups like it’s my job, and have not even remotely given up on my original goal to crank one out unassisted- before the Ultra Beast would be even better!  So far, I haven’t had any tingling, numbness, or increased shoulder issues, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed that this continues.

Of course, I haven’t only been doing P90X! (I know you’re surprised…)  I have also been running!  I just started a doing a hilly 8 mile loop on the roads near my house. (not my usual favorite, but the fact that it’s tough sort of makes up for it)  Plus, I have still been hitting the trails too. 🙂

It’s so nice to finally feel like I’m making some progress!!!!!
