I'm pretty good about running, but as I posted on my wall today, I decided to give P90X a whirl since it was cold, grey, windy, rainy, and dreary in Seattle, and I have the legs of a runner and the arms of a computer programmer.

The room I selected for my workout had a 7 foot long piece of 4x4 fencepost leaning against the wall. I was hanging in there pretty good, but at about the 40 minute mark while getting up from some pushups I managed to knock it over and caught it right on the forehead.

I didn't finish the workout.

It bled a good bit but is kind of funny in retrospect. Just a reminder though to be careful. Got a bit of a headache but I think my wife feels worse than I do.

Tomorrow I'm going for a run. Even if it rains.

    Ouch! P90x can be pretty tough but you're taking it to a new level. I think a run sounds good for you tomorrow :)

    I wasn't aware that P90X was a contact sport! Have a nice run tomorrow!

    :-(

    that looks very painful!!! good job stepping outside your comfort zone though!

    maybe just remove all dangers? or post " watch for falling objects?" ;-)

    I am going to suggest you wear a helmet today while on your run and for the next round of P90x :-)
