    I think I’m allergic to P90X, since every time I get started doing it, I either get sick, get an infection or both. Well, regardless of P90X or not, I’m going to back into the swing of things. This is my deadline year, so I only have until December to run my ultra marathon or do my half iron man triathlon.

    Honestly, methinks it’ll be the ultra since I hate riding the bike.

    I figured that out this morning when I was talking to my son’s mom. My son is riding the MS150, which is a 150 mile bike race/ride over the summer so he needs to train and spend time on the bike. I wish I could do that with him, but I just have no desire to get on a bike.

    Now that I think about it some more, I think my deal is with a road bike. Maybe there’s an off road duathlon or something that I can do… Nah, forget about it. Ultra marathon or half iron man, that’s what I’m shooting for.

    For the record, I swam 1200 yard yesterday at the YMCA and totally felt my girth. I even took a picture of my girthness for posterity.

    I needed this one. I like how the guy says that no one’s body can race for 8 hours, which begs that question: “What about the people that race for endurance runs?” They race for more than 8 hours all the time.

    Anyway, I enjoyed the video.

    Maybe I just like the music.
