2009 is upon us, and that means the big 4-0 is almost upon me, so I decided it was time for a fitness push. I enjoyed the 2 months of Operation Bootcamp that I did near the end of 2008, so I signed up for a 3-pack of camps. Not sure if I'm going to do January, March and May, or some other configuration of that, but the goal is to be extra fit at 40. Time to trade in "ab" for "abs".

Today was the first day of camp, which means PT test. I ended up setting a personal best in the mile run of 6:55. That would be a crap time for a serious runner, but for someone like me that isn't into running, I was pretty happy about it. After the run, the vets got to try out a new workout of 10 second intervals with sprint sets intermingled in here and there. I'm sure that tomorrow will be a day of great pain and stiffness. Hurts so good...

First it was Motor Trend, now it is Autombile Magazine naming the Nissan GT-R their Car of the Year.

I knew that the GT-R was going to be something special when I ordered it, and Motor Trend has affirmed that belief by crowing it the Car of the Year.

I've been driving it every day and my love for it continues to grow. Definitely the most fun car I've ever owned by far.
