The Houston area has a bunch of relocated Pittsburghers. glad this blog can help with motivation!<br />As for P90X Lean vs Classic, it really depends on your goals. If you are trying to become more fit cardio-wise then go with lean. If you are looking to add some upper body definition and looked "ripped" the go classic. I did classic both times!<br /><br />Mike - The blister is fine. The pic makes it look much worse than it actually is! Annie bought me some blister band-aids and I used it for this mornings run. Worked great. Probably going to pick up some moleskn though for longer run days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-69230980467302667822010-02-17T21:54:12.190-06:002010-02-17T21:54:12.190-06:00Jeff- Danielle has some advice for you and your bl...Jeff- Danielle has some advice for you and your blister issue (and she's a dancer and dance teacher- so she knows a thing or two about blisters). She recommends that you use one of those blister band-aids or moleski or tape some lamb's wool on it prior to your run. That spot is an obvious hot spot and is being caused by the way you run. This is especially obvious since you got it in the same spot, yet had different shoes and different socks on. Since you can't change your gait, you'll need to do more pro-actively on the front end before a big run or this will continue.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098218302014476784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-35962013212643559322010-02-17T15:11:39.030-06:002010-02-17T15:11:39.030-06:00Just joined today.

I live in The Woodlands, TX, I am from the burgh, I am a huge Steeler fan, I just ran my first and quite frankly probably my last marathon in Miami on Jan 31, 2010. Finished in 5 hours and 10 minutes. Think I should have ran around a 4:30 but there was 93% humidity and it was 72 degrees which kicked my butt early, and I am set on doing p90X beginning Monday, February 22,2010. I am using your blog for inspiration. I am a 43 year old mother of 3 - a previous athlete set on spending middle age as an active and fit adult. I would love to try a triathalon some day and swimmimng is my best sport. Biking is my worst. Tell Annie Congratulations on her marathon completion. It is a big deal! One question any comments regarding the Classic or the Lean P90X workout?

Other possibility is maybe the trails are causing your feet to move a lot more than on the pavement? Put some sort of ointment on that so you don't get an infection. Great training numbers for the week! I am kicking up my swimming as well. I am glad that there is another solid runner out there for the TRIs haha, feels GREAT to pass the hordes of people for the entire 10k, now if only I can get to the 10k faster hmmmmm...Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-55149795162708560312010-02-17T07:09:08.500-06:002010-02-17T07:09:08.500-06:00Hi Jeff,

Hey, ...First... good job staying on your schedule.<br /><br />Hey, your conditioning is extremely good. Fresh legs after the race is incredible. I am sorry to hear about Annie's legs. My legs were trash after my long Saturday runs for anything over 12 miles. So I know how she feels.<br /><br />That is some kind of blister my friend. Are you using the same shoes? What kind of socks do you use?<br /><br />Ain't it amazing how Jack gets stabbed in the gut then jumps up and fights terrorists like its just another day at the office!Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.com
