| About mark |
Hi, my name is Mark Hennessy, founder of GripIron Fitness. I'm a recovering workaholic who is looking to improve my health and find balance in my life.
Here are some things I have, but that don't have me:
- idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) a very rare autoimmune disease that destroys my platelletes. There is no known cause or cure. I am currently asymptomatic and problem only have about 70 years to live. But one effect of this is I cannot take anti-inflamatories and any surgery I have will require a platellet infusion. I also have to do periodic blood tests for the rest of my life. If it gets bad they will have to remove my spleen. I'm trying to focus on being healthy so that I can handle whatever comes my way. And I know there are many others much worse off then me and that I am very fortunate indeed.
- slight kneecap alignment problems, which combined with my ITP has forced me to give up running and biking. My training for my first triathlon got derailed, but now I'm focusing on training for my first relay triathlon in which I will only do the swim.
Things I have that have me:
- A wonderful wife, a one year old son, and another boy just born February 13th.
Favorite Quote:
"Don't let what you can't do get in the way of what you can do." - John Wooden
I enjoy inspiring and being inspired by others. I think the little things people do everyday to make small improvements are very inspiring. Small changes can lead to big things.
I am more interested in doing than having. I admire people who do things to make things better more than those who simply have the best but do little with it - be it health, wealth, or anything else.

Hi Mark. Noticed the league's gone a bit funny and you've not been about lately. I hope everything's ok. Hope to see you back soon :o)

Hi Mark thanks for the comment. The tough part is that I lost my job and have no health or dental insurance and it's been difficult getting a new job looking the way I do and not being able to speak.
I am going through with the competition, in fact as soon as I got home from the ER with my mouth and gums still bleeding and before taking my pain meds I e-mailed my coach (couldn't call since I couldn't speak) and asked him what to do about my diet since I could only take in liquids. Well, it gives me time to train and I am going to worry about getting a job after the competition. My bills are going to have to wait.

Hey Mark, I just entered in my workouts and it's still showing my workouts as pending for the Cardio Challenge. Why is this?
