Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running. She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once. She is my running inspiration. I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

P90X Chest/Back and Core today 1:10

Did a total of 240 various types of push-ups, 50 door jam finger pull-ups (because I didn't have my pull-up bar yet until today). Then did the Ab/core workout that kicks my butt each time and which I can only do about half of.

My left foot is kind of sore in the cuboid area. Its weird because the pain went away there when I had a weird heel pain for 4-5 days. Then the heel pain went away and the cuboid pain is back. Unfortunately Richey is gone for the weekend so I have to wait until next week to get it worked on again. But the good thing is that it gives me a good excuse to work on my core strength right now and build a better foundation, which I really need. So I'm taking it as a blessing.

50 door jam pull ups! Nice! that's sick strong. Good job. I think the core work will pay off huge in your running/cycling. It's so hard to do it though . .at least for me, feels like there are so many other things I'd rather do.

Thanks. It sounds stronger than it is, it was really just 4 sets of 10 and 2 sets of 5 at various widths. When I was in climbing shape I could do sets of 20 or 30 of those, not at this point.

I have never found it easy to do the core work either until now for some reason. I think the biggest reason is because my foot hurts so I have an excuse to not run on it, but also, the p90X deal is pretty fantastic I must admit. It makes it super easy to get a really good core workout in each day for some reason. Whenever I have tried to self-direct my core/strength training I lacked almost ALL motivation.
