How've you been? I've been okay, doing a little experimenting with this and that, some quick stuff to try and discard and a few things that seem to have 'taken'.Started trying out barefoot running at the beginning of September, yesterday I did 10 miles w/o shoes taking my cumulative distance for the month up to 65 miles.

Starting around midnight we had multiple massive thunderstorms come though, lightning like a strobe light, multiple strikes close and loud enough to shake the house. The kids were freaking out. That lasted on and off until around 5am. I went to bed at 11 and got up at 6:30, so 2.5 hours of fairly undisturbed sleep, with 5 hours of chaos. I guess I'll call it 6 hours http://wesproject.blogspot.com/2009/07/day-5-what-storm-and-legs.htmlwrenfroe@hotmail.com (Wes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402942204512105113.post-910631174542607699Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:48:00 +00002009-07-24T07:18:21.323-04:003:50amWas harder to get up this morning.

Back/chest and Shoulders/arms were not terrible but Plyo and then Legs/Back workout (Legs portion) sent me to the hurt locker. Would have thought with all the cycling and running that wouldn't be the case but there you go. So I'm going to consider the week as a warmup and start the 90 days http://wesproject.blogspot.com/2009/07/just-kidding-this-is-real-kickoff.htmlwrenfroe@hotmail.com (Wes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402942204512105113.post-4290885234472110919Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:18:00 +00002009-07-19T13:35:09.078-04:00Hi there!Well a fair amount has happened since May, I continued to train for the triathlon and felt rather good about it. Then when cycling on vacation (July 5th) I had a wreck, flipped over the handlebars and landed on my back in an intersection. Good helmet check, roadrash and a pretty bruised back.I opted to pass on the Tri, lower back is still tender and running/cycling is not very fun.So http://wesproject.blogspot.com/2009/07/reboot-begin-full-p90x-again.htmlwrenfroe@hotmail.com (Wes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402942204512105113.post-6619251774908466704Tue, 26 May 2009 00:23:00 +00002009-05-25T20:36:05.354-04:00Started the strength workout of P90X and Abripper today, good workouts.

Let me summarize.Burpees/pullups challenge has been called off. I've got some tendonitus in my elbows and even a full week off didn't help too much. Oh well, knocked out over 4100. Still running and preparing for the Tri in July and trying to do yoga as much as possible.

Did get out at lunch and ran 8 miles. This afternoon Tim suggested doing burpee's for time so I knocked them out as hard as I could. Got 18 done the first minute (thought I'd do better there) but was able to get to 100 just shy of 11 minutes. I'll take it. Did an extra 20 for my normal 120 for the day but pullups took a hit.
