sbrSo been 3 weeks into my first round of P90x2. And it’s really going well.  My health has finally turned around and I’m feeling good.  Been keeping up the consistency w/ the nutrition, the workouts and hoping to continue the success I’ve had so far. I don’t want to get back to the 11 weeks of sickness I had.

This week was pretty good with my continued training towards the Tough Mudder and the beginning of Triathlon season in 3 months.  Mapping out the events we hope to be doing and will post those soon and when we ‘officially’ sign up for them.  There is nothing like creating motivation than signing up for an event.

Run:

I got 2 runs in (2.5 mile and 3.15 mile).  I’ve had to switch over to RunKeeper for tracking my runs. Seems Nike has broken their app on my phone.  So far, really liking the features and really everything that RunKeeper provides.  Hopefully come April I’ll be able to switch over to the Garmin 910XT.  The running is as always going to be my hardest part to keep going. especially with my schedule and the cold weather. Should be able to see my profile and runs here:  http://runkeeper.com/user/krprice/activitylist

Bike:

I got in 2 shorter duration rides on the trainer.  started slowly back at that as well.  going to start again with a 6 week base plan to get the legs in shape and work on the technique.   The new seat I got for Christmas has really worked out great.  The perineal nerve is much happier and zero numbness.  I’m much more comfortable on the bike than when I first started.  Hopefully everything continues to go well.  Should be able to see my rides located here:  http://www.trainerroad.com/career/kprice2012 

I’m using a software product called TrainerRoad for tracking my rides.  They’ve done some amazing things with it so far. I’m really digging the plans that are incorporated into it, as well as the integration w/ theSufferfest Video series.  Typically I’ll just watch a video of some kind, but why not workout to a ‘real’ world ride.  can’t wait to try it out.

P90x2 (core/Strength/Performance):p90x2Img

P90x2 workouts are going strong.  Just finished up Round 1 – Week 3 – Phase 1.  This was the ‘core’ phase. And I’m pretty excited w/ how I am feeling after these 3 weeks.  I’ve enjoyed the workouts. Seen definite increase in my abilities from week to week.  The core is so critical in all sports, especially in all 3 disciplines that I’ll be doing in the tri, that it makes sense to focus on it and give it, the due diligence it needs.  Phase 2 , Strength, starts tomorrow. 

I’m finding the fun again with my workout programs.  The body is responding well and this looks like it’s going to be an amazing 2012!

Hope you are are finding the groove that you want to get yourself into shape this year and doing what works for you! Find your motivation!

Decide. Commit. Succeed!
