Life after Insanity

After I completed Insanity back in May 2011, I attempted to resume running but had a few issues. The first issue was I jumped right back into it and only rested for 2-3 days after Insanity so my body was extremely tired. I should have rested for 5-7 days before attempting to run again. In addition, it felt like I had torn a ligament just below my right knee on the outside. The next issue I had, was my running mechanics. Prior to beginning Insanity I had been running and running a ton but I had been running exclusively on the treadmill throughout the winter. Running on a treadmill is so much easier than running on the pavement. Although my cardio and core had never been stronger because of Insanity, these other issues really hampered my progress. During the last several months, I have continued on and I am finally back to where I was but I don't run as obsessively as I once did. Last Friday, I was able to run 6+ miles and it felt great. I try to run at least 2 days a week now but sometimes that is not possible due to scheduling. Since my main goal now is to burn fat and add a little muscle, I have been trying to incorporate P90X into my workouts for the last 2 weeks and it has really helped but I am not even close to where I want to be but I will not let that stop me. I will endure.
