So I started over on P90x on January 4th as my first day, just because New Years just threw a big kink into everything. Being that it may, this way my first time doing Legs and Back, which to be honest, I didn’t find that Xtreme.

Yesterday I had my initial consultation with my coach. I like him. I’ve known him a little bit as we’ve been doing our Wednesday night sprints at Franklin Field together. He has really pushed me to get faster this fall.  His background is in track and field where he ran at Michigan but after so many stress fractures he predominately races bikes now.

We basically went over race goals,

I started P90x today. I had heard so many things about it and its popularity that I decided to do my own research. In case you don’t know what p90x is about, it’s a 90 day fitness program that is very “X”treme in every aspect.

Dating as a triathlete…

is pretty much pointless. I said this blog will be much more about than just about triathlon, but about my life in general. And one aspect of that life is my attempt to find a worthy partner.This summer was very successful on the triathlon front, but not so much on the dating front.

A few days ago, an old Japan colleauge of mine was in a terrible bike wreck while riding her bike to work.

From what I heard from her husband, she broke her back in which 2 verterbre were damaged. I’d give you her Flickr page but I don’t think she wants her business out there like that. But I know she follows the blog so J, please get well.

Knowing her, she’s probably more worried about the condition of her brand new Ceepo bike than the healing of the back. Do what you gotta do to get healthy J, and I’m sure you’ll be back on the road in no time.

Got this really cool cartoon of me awhile back and I thought I’d put it up. Not sure what to call it: “Ken the Ironman” perhaps? The drawing was made by Dan Socea; a good friend of mine from Romania. I think I look pretty good. You can check out his other work at http://dansocea.blogspot.com

Good news.  I got a call from my doctor and the MRI came back negative.
