My blog

To all my regular readers, sorry for the delay - it's been a busy 2 months. First, I got to my goal weight "on schedule" (i.e. on/before my birthday) despite a week of vacation and a weekend trip to a wedding. Then, I started P90X on my birthday, which is going quite well. Then, I got conned into running a half marathon, signing up 16 days before the race, without ever having trained for the race. Then I spent the last two weeks freaking out about the run. I'm happy to say that we've successfully survived the last two months, with what I like to think is a very good result of 2:05:47 on my first ever half marathon. As a sign that I'm totally insane, about 20 minutes after I finished, as I was stretching, I commented to my wife that "next one, I'm going to break 2 hours!" Okay, this life makeover stuff is nuts, it makes you do stuff that you would never have even contemplated before it happened! :-D Plan for next week is to walk off the effects of the half, and get back into P90X (on hold for the last week, to get ready for the race). I'll be back in a few weeks, with the halfway point update on P90X. Brian PS - weight control is there, staying right around 185 at all times.
