    I'm still around - still swimming and cycling. I've had to take time off from running for shin splints. I am starting to stress as it has been about 3 weeks - the half IronMan is in September. I've got to get on the ball.

    The pool at our gym is still closed and the lake I have been swimming in is now covered in scum and algea. So I have to find another pond/lake. I swam at the Memphis YMCA when we were there over the weekend for Ed's solo show (awesome show by the way).

    It has been up to 97 degrees this past weekend, this week (with very high humidity), and looks like it will continue into this coming weekend. We rode only 18 miles last evening. It didn't feel bad actually. We were supposed to do 20 but we got back to town and I didn't feel like circling around town for 2 miles so called it quits.

    I even did a little strenghthening yesterday morning!!!

    Swam 2500 yards this morning. Having a hard time finding a pond or lake without scum. I guess the 95+ degree weather everyday this past week encourages scum. Finally drove 10 miles out into the country to our friends' pond (big deep pond) and no scum. It was muddy as heck though.

    Tonight I have to ride (bike) 25 miles and do 8 x 2 min. hill repeats at some point in that 25 miles. It will be hot out on that pavement!

    Hoping to get a Central Park run in tonight, 3 laps around the trail below the reservoir, good for slightly under 5 miles to prepare for the 5 mile run in the Park this coming Sunday.

    We had tickets to the MSG concerts last year and were looking forward to running in Central Park. Neither my husband nor I had ever done that. Unfortunately we had to cancel the trip.

    This may sound dumb, but what's the "world trail?" Just guessing I would say it is one of those courses with exercise stations located on the course, but it doesn't seem like it would be 10 miles long, and mostly I thought they were situated on running/walking paths.

    Has anyone here done one of the OXFAM trailwalkers? 100 Km hike in 48 hours? Looking to benefit from anecdotal evidence.

    correct.......it has stations throughout the field. the path on our trail follows is native cut grass, there is no smooth level surface. several small inclines, mole hills, gopher holes..all types of hazards, you need to stay alert. they cut it once a month it seems.

    when the sun is baking the grass......it sure smells good.

    anyone try the p90x program?

    Ive been looking into it and it sounds pretty outstanding.
    I started the P90X four weeks ago and I can attest that it is an excellent, yet demanding workout program. I was skeptical due to the fact that the company that sells it also does “hip hop abs” but P90X is a very serious program. In three weeks I went from being able to do 9 pull-ups to 80 pull-ups in a 1-hour workout. I have yet to weigh myself but I’m already down from a 36 inch waist to a 34 inch waist. Also, I was having knee pain for the last year due to a bone spur (and being out of shape). For the first two weeks I had to ice my knee down after every workout and it would be sore the next day. Now after four weeks my knee feel 95% better and I no longer have to ice it because my legs are so much stronger.

    The program has 12 workout discs that mix things up pretty good. For instance, here are a few of the workouts: Chest and back; Plyometrics (lots of lunges and jumping); Arms and Shoulders; Kenpo (kicks and punches), Legs and Back, and Yoga (believe it or not, yoga is the toughest one). You need a yoga mat, a pull-up bar, and dumb bells from 5 – 50 lbs. So your overall investment will be around $500 - $700. P90X tries to sell you a bunch of crap but you can buy better stuff on Amazon for half the cost.

    The program also has a very good eating plan. It’s not really a diet because it challenges you to eat constantly. But it’s healthy food instead of junk. I’m eating healthier then I ever have and I don’t get the cravings for Doritos or pizza anymore. You still get to eat lots of chicken, pork, and other normal foods and the book has some excellent recipes. The biggest obstacles are time management and dedication. I have been getting up at 5am to do my workouts because waiting until after work was destroying my free time. You have to be ready to workout six days a week for 12 weeks. Oh, you also should cut down on your beer intake.

    I would recommend that if anyone is considering the program that they spend at least three weeks working out 5 times a week prior to ordering it. It will be a good way to gauge your determination and not waste your money. It is also a very good idea to be in at least halfway decent shape before starting P90X. My roommate separated his shoulder doing pushups in week three (an old injury contributed), but he jumped into the program cold and out of shape.

    I hope this helps anyone that is considering the program.

    P90X can really beat the snot out of you if you're not ready for it. From all the people I've talked to, it works pretty well. I don't do it but have been thinking of giving it a try, just don't want to give up my current routine.

    As for buying it... why? Download it from the internet, its everywhere

    Final score from the Hope and Possibility 5 mile run in Central Park this morning: 33:36, good for a 6:43 pace, 69th overall place. What a day, beautiful weather, good crowd, wife watching on the sidelines, and playing the Mansfield show from last year on the Zune with HTI as the opener :)

    45 minutes on the Elliptical this morning. Still no running due to shin splints. I think my $250.00 entry fee for the Half Ironman in September may be down the drain. :( I can't run. I haven't swam cuz I have a bad allergies or head/chest cold. Even the biking has slowed down due to the lingering crud I have. Feeling sorry for myself. Here it is the middle of summer and I don't feel like doing anything.

    On the bright side the 105-110 heat index has gone away so if I do get to feeling better it won't be as miserably hot when I get out!
