Personal:

I'm a former rower, looking at getting into some other form of competition after "retirement" from my pastime of the previous four years. I'm dedicated, but a little held back by my formerly 215lb 6'7" frame.

Another dreadmill run. Very impressed with how my body is holding up. Shocking, isn't it, that I'm not getting foot pain, anymore, after not subjecting my body to the shock of disparate 8 mile runs 4 times a week, instead of applying even pressure?

 Went 35 minutes. Going to bump up 3/4 miles next week, got a race on Saturday!
