I had forgotten how difficult Insanity was! While it definitely went better than my very first week, I was a little surprised at how sore I actually was. I shouldn't be surprised, of course. I had been focusing on running so most of these moves were using muscles that have been sleeping for a few months. I was most sore in my chest, abs and back.
I still suck at Plyometric Cardio Circuit and still do best at Pure Cardio. PCC just has way too much upper body during the second routine. Maybe by the end of this round I won't suck at in anymore.
One thing I forgot when I started round two is that I am on vacation (more of a staycation) during the second week (which I am halfway through now). That's a bit of a problem because I am never healthy on my vacations. I tend to eat out every night and drink more booze since I don't have to be up in the morning. So far it hasn't been too bad but I do have some events that I'm attending in the next few days that might make it difficult to get my workouts in.
Halfway through week one I was considering dropping the running/Insanity hybrid just to get Insanity over with. I'm going to stick with the hybrid for now, because what's the rush? Week two and three are the first weeks with a fair amount of running but I have to be honest, I skipped the running workout at the beginning of the week. I had a rough (but fun!) weekend and I needed a recovery day.
I think the biggest difference I've noticed so far is that I am in better shape which lets me focus more on my form. It has improved considerably. I think doing the workouts barefoot helps a lot too.
