2 weeks away

Well, I've officially done 2 full rounds of P90x. I finished my second 90 days right before leaving for a 2 week trip with my family back east.

I spent that last 2 weeks in Western Massachusets, Upstate NY, Westport, CT, Brooklyn, NY, Washington DC and Morgan County Ohio. I ran every other day and did 2 sessions of yoga as well as mix in ARX and Push ups and pull ups throughout the trip. I ate fairly well and came back weighing less than when we left. I'm officially a sub 210lbs. I weighed in at 208 yesterday morning after a day of travelling and eating horribly all day so I feel great about how far I've come. I'll post the final picutre diary this week to show the progression but I am more than happy with the results and very excited about where this will ultimately take me. I have to thank HHH for the inspiration and motivation, my wifey for supporting this over the last 6 months and Pac Man for becoming the newset member of the graduating class!

Also, thanks to Tony aka Dorkosaurus and his daily invlvement in my life.

Went for a Run instead of Kenpo

We are leaving town for 2 weeks tomorrow morning. The cool thing is we're flying Virgin to JFK. Why do you care? Well, I was up untill after midnight last night preparing for the trip, this means I woke up late and I didn't want to do Kenpo. As I've stated earlier, I'm going to do the Marin County Tri in Novemebr so I want to get my legs in shape for the pounding I'm going to give them over the next 3 months. I also did 50 pushups during the run and ran an 8:30 pace for the 4.8 miles.

The big news of the day, a number on the scale that I wasn't sure I'd ever see again. I wanted to see it but I wasn't so sure.
205 lbs. Now I should be happy with that number and I am but my mind immediately went to..."Is 200lbs possible?"

Core Synergistics is a hell of a workout.

I'm going to keep that one in the rotation as I train for a triathlon this fall. It's a solid all over body burn baby burn.

I can see the light, Scale read 207 this morning.

Recovery Hair!

On my last week of P90X before I shelve it for a few months, I'm looking forward to my Farewell tour, but anxious about not being on the program. I must say that my confidence to try more difficult things is high. Saturday I went for a bike ride in the Napa Valley. I started outside of St Helena and planned to do a loop around Calistoga. Previously, I've done some rides up here that are pretty easy in terms of elevation, but as I was riding Saturday morning I looked up at the mountains and said I need a challenge. So, I turned right at Calistoga and took 29 up the road to Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. Just a little 2000 ft climb, I climbed 1300 ft of it as I was getting tired and not familiar with the road, and then road the 12 miles home and at a solid pace. Now that I've mapped the route on Mapmytri.com I see that I was only 2.6 miles from the summit and 800 feet of elevation left to go. I will conquer that hill this year.
Yoga this morning, done, rocked and ommed my way to a finish.
Core in the morning and hopefully some golf as well.
Fore!
