Insanity, but not the workout

So, things have been kind of insane lately, but that has nothing to do with working out. Last week I completed week 1 of insanity and it was great. I had plenty of time to do the workouts because I was snowed in at home most of the week. Week 2 has not been so great. Life has returned to normal. I'm back at work and as a result I have to make the effort to workout in the morning or in the evening when I get home.

Monday
Well, Monday I did not get up and vowed to workout at home after work, that was before I had to drive out to Maryland to pick up a prescription for my mom. Then on the way home my head lights weren't working and I took my car to the shop. I didn't get home until after 9pm and I was starving. So, I canceled my workout.

Tuesday
I didn't workout in the morning. They celebrated February Birthdays at work. I ate 3 cupcakes. After work, I had a million errands to run. I picked up a pair of Under Armour Cross Trainers hoping it will provide more support for my feet. I got home after 9pm. So, I canceled my workout.

Wednesday
I managed to do Cardio & Resistance in the morning. The Under Armour Cross Trainers didn't help. In fact, I thought they were worse. I really need to get good cross training shoes. I've been to several athletic shops, but unlike running stores, they had a small selection and sales people know nothing about cross trainers. One guy tried to sell me running shoes and tell me they were for cross training.

Thursday
I didn't get up early because I went to bed after midnight on Wednesday. In the evening, I met w/ my Realtor and signed papers to sell my condo. I go to closing on March 30th. I returned the Under Armor Cross Trainers. I got home at 8:30pm. So, I canceled my workout.

Today
I took the day off to take my mom to the doctor. I'm hoping all will go well with her appointments. If I'm lucky I can workout in the evening.

I may have to have a Week 2 do over. I have gotten over the initial shock and soreness, but I don't want to lose all of the gains I made. Also, I really think my performance is being hampered by the fact that I do not have the right shoes. Midway through the warm ups, the mid-sole of my feet start to hurt. So, I slow it down and don't push. Someone recommended Asics Gel-Intensity, but I can't find it in my size. I'll just have to keep looking.

Here's hoping next week will be less hectic.
