Week Four, Day Twenty-Four: Stretch X, and a Return to Running

I don't have too terribly much to say here. This is an hour of literally nothing but stretching. It's nice, I guess, shorter and less intense than yoga, just is what it is... stretching. On the P90X schedule, on day seven (Sunday, with how I scheduled mine) you have the option of rest or Stretch X, and I've always just omitted stretch X, but I think I'll start doing it on Sundays, just to help further with flexibility. In anticiption of this relaxed day, I ran after I fed my snake and before I did my video... My first real run since my injuries. I ran two miles in 20:14, including the two minutes and thirty seconds spent between warming up and cooling down. I was doing HIIT, one minute of walking (4.2mph) mixed with one minute of sprinting (starting at 5.5 and worked up to 8.5, then back down; knees didn't feel up to 9mph like normal). I felt some twinge in one of my knees (right one), but nothing too terrible. I'd like to start stacking running with my work outs maybe every other day, if my knees felt up to it... It felt so good guys, you have no idea. I was drip-dropping sweat and everything; I think I lost some of my cardio and I want to regain and surpass what I had. But yes, it did feel so good... I had no idea how much I missed running. Hopefully my knees continue to hold up.

I hope you guys have a good evening! <3
