I has been a year since I ran my first obstacle course race. I've tried sporadically throughout the year to land on a fitness regime that would work for me. So here I am a year later almost at the same place I was a year ago. I ran on Wendesday with a friend. She is thin and younger than me, but a good friend seems to want me to succeed.
The choices I've stuck to the best have been bicycling, running and P90X. Although I only made it a few weeks into the P90X, I could definitely see an almost instant improvement in my posture, balance and--of all things--my feet. I am flat-footed. I have some problems held over from a birth defect that make me incrdebly pigeon toed or duck toed. I never know which it is.
My feet are just more comfortable splayed out. When I started doing P90X I almost immeditely saw a change in my feet. The new muscles began to pull my feet in and the arches up. Is that possible. I don't know. Maybe that is the first thing I will ask someone that would know. After the race I am going back to the P90X. For now, I will alternate between the days I run and the P90X because running still takes so much out of me. For that someday when I can run three miles and not crawl to the front door the next morning, I will start doing P90X and running on the same days.
