Sounds good to me Colby. Do you ever run on a treadmill? It's a good way to test your limits - knowing that you can hop off at any minute if the pain starts to return.
I just got done with a book called "The Heart and the Fist" by a guy named Eric Greitens. Check it out on Amazon. It's the first book I've read in a while where I was actually underlining and highlighting key passages. Really good stuff.
Hey, I only count one amazing boy in your picture. Isn't it about time for an updated photo?

Joe-Trying to...I am so nervous to start to fast and get this stupid shin injury again
Burt-Thanks pal!

P.S. Rob- I haven't done much treadmill running since I have been back from Afghanistan. I'll check that book out. We will be in Germany for EIB for about two weeks. It may be a good read on my Kindle, and I will get a new picture posted...your right, it's about time!
