My P90x Journey-preface

I did it.

I bought P90x.
For a girl that has grown up working out her whole life I really have my reservations about this program. Most of these videos promise quick fixes that never come about. Some of the videos are so geared towards guys that a girl never really gets a work out geared toward her body type. And finally, the last thing I want is to come out looking like a body builder... that's not so attractive. Part of the reason I bought the P90x is because I cancelled my gym membership about a year ago. It was nice break and all but I just love the feeling of pushing your body to its limit or the rush you have after crossing the finish line after a half marathon. So I got back into running over the summer and, along with Jenna and Sam, I trained for my first half-marathon! Now I'm looking to complete my first marathon in October. However, running only does so much. It's time to get back to working out my whole body. Being prone to injury and also because of the need to cross train while getting ready for the marathon, I bought P90x. I'm thankful that God has allowed me to run again so I need to make sure I train in the best way possible.
So here I go... the questions I have will only be answered by trying it for myself. I might as well give it a shot. Now all I have to do is wait for the pull up bar and a few other things and I should be good to go.... Do I really have the time to do this and train for a marathon? I guess only time will tell.
