I’ve been avoiding this too long. So, I’m bulleting. Get over it.
- I did P90X for about 2 weeks and then went on vacation to Indiana.
- In Lafayette, Indiana the plan was that Amy and I would do P90 every day.
- Um, that didn’t happen.
- What did happen was a whole lot of drinking margaritas or mojitos in the pool.
- Or both.
- And maybe some wine.
- And hot dog eating
- And playing dress up.
- And baseball games.
- And legos.
- We musn’t forget the legos.
- I love being Aunt Suzie.
- And there was bison and wolves.
- And sushi consumption with friends.
- And Kim remembers me doing cartwheels in the street.
- In heels.
- And, perhaps, some falling on my ass.
- Then I went to Indianapolis to visit my parents.
- No P90 there – only weeding and gardening.
- Seriously, my mom has neglected the weeds for what seemed like 40 million years.
- Don’t tell her I said that.
- But I’m a good daughter. I weed. I mulch. I dig. That’s what I do.
- Which I really didn’t mind because I brought back 3 garbage bags worth of plants for my garden.
- Which really don’t grow well in Texas.
- But I pretend.
- I’m back in Texas for 2 days and we have the mother of all hail storms.
- Followed my a massive plague of grasshoppers.
- Good thing I’m an atheist.
- Those 3 bags of plants?
- Um, for the most part, not so much plants anymore.
- Disastrous, monstrous storm clean-up takes place.
- Turns out the mother of all hail storms was actually a tornado.
- Ever clean a tree out of a pool?
- With a hot flash?
- Fun times.
- And we have to get a new roof. I’m seriously not happy about this.
- For 3 weeks, massive landscape clean-up was my P90X workout.
- Then something cool happened.
- My friend Peggy said she would train for a marathon with me.
- Woo-Hoo! A running partner.
- We’ve been running like rock stars and we are up to 7 miles.
- Then I planned a ShaleTest fundraiser.
- I baked a load of cookies.
- And I forgot to take pictures when everyone arrived.
- But it was awesome.
- Then I got a sinus infection.
- And didn’t do anything for 5 days.
- I blame global warming for the sinus infection. And, of course, gas drilling.
- Didn’t think I’d leave that out, did you?
- Now, I’m feeling better.
- But I still have hot flashes.
- Go antibiotics!
- Oh, and go new fall shoes that I can’t wear yet.
- Shhh, don’t tell Chef.
- But P90 hasn’t been on my schedule for a while.
- I know you all have been wanting to know how it’s going.
- Now you know.
- So, I’m thinking . . .
- Do I start P90X up on my non-run days?
- Or do I do it in addition with the run days?
- I really like the 4 day run weeks.
- A lot.
- But my big surgeryfied-belly says I need more.
- Sigh.
- Being old sucks.
So that’s it. Now I can get back to regular posting. Guilt free. Sort of.

I think you missed a bullet point 🙂
I don’t think you should do the full P90 if you are running a lot. Just find some ab workout that you can do 15 minutes a day and do it. That’s all.
– Your Mom
Great synopsis.
You didn’t include a picture of the shoes you can’t wear.
I don’t blame you one bit for bringing up the drilling.
Great to have you back.
Consider yourself spanked – that was FUN!
I agree with 21st century mom. Just find some ab / core work to do for 15 minutes. Do NOT do p90X with running training as it may well injure you. It’s too much.
I really could do with mojitos in a pool. Or by the pool. Or just a mojito.

I was going to say, tell Pharaoh to let the slaves go. 😉
I discovered blackberry mojitos in San Antonio. Really a nice variation. Not as sweet. Go down like sweet tea.
You’re doing just fine, although that roof replacement does not sound good. Hail/tornado damage? Can’t you just fix the leak?
Hey, I asked you not to tell me me how far we were running until we were done.
ROFLMAO! I loved the post. Too cute!
A lake in San Angelo has turned red:

Another “plague of Moses”? Can we blame Rick Perry? 😉
