Hello.
I don't have too much to say about week 2. Mainly because it was so long ago and my memory sucks. I did not miss any workouts and the muscle soreness has subsided. Maybe I did miss a workout. I vaguely remember writing something about missing a day in my last update. I'm not going to check.
I do know for certain that I missed two workouts during week three. One was unavoidable due to a concert I didn't want to miss (it was the "rock" show, so no orchestra and choir, but still awesome) and I would like to say the other one was unavoidable but that would just be me making excuses. I ended up rearranging the schedule a bit so that the missed workouts were running ones instead of Insanity ones. I'll more than make up for missed running workouts when I get back into marathon training so I'm less concerned about missing those. Missing Insanity workouts would defeat the whole point of doing this so I make an extra effort to get those in. If I do end up missing one I guess I'll just make it up after I get through my whole program.
The running days I haven't skipped have not been great. Most of them are on the treadmill because I'm too much of a weenie to go out in the cold. I've also been having these strange leg stiffening problems about 15 minutes into the runs. They make my form suck and force me to stop and stretch ever mile or so. It is pretty annoying and I hope I figure out the problem soon. It might be from shitty form and it might be because I'm a shitty runner. It's most likely a combination of the two! That does bring up one of my favorite aspects of running: its a learning experience. After every run I look back to see how it could have gone better and I look forward to trying to improve my next one.
Happy Thanksgiving, USA readers! Happy Hanukkah, Jewish readers!
