welcome to the board. "comeback" efforts are always cool to follow. you're 27 years "young". boy you did let yourself go a bit since you're only in the 20's... but sometimes life takes over ehh? :-P curiously, what kind of research are you doing?
just read your detailed log intro and saw some vids. wow you your legs are still powerful! cool. for guys like you that were once advance levels you guys will get it back faster than us novice types move up to intermediate. :-)
Thanks a lot. Yes, life certainly took over. And sometimes when we have reached a high level we can lie to ourselves. For a very long time I insisted I still "had it", and would say things like "I can get back in shape in a month, probably only added about 10 pounds...".
It takes a wake up call, I'm just glad I had mine at age 26 rather than 40 cause I would have been in an even deeper hole. The initial improvement was super easy, things are just getting hard now
.
Anyway, I'm mostly teaching now but I am finishing up the writing on my PhD in computational biology. I write sequence data algorithms, if you are interested in that I can link you to my research page! Hopefully this site will stay up and I can get back on the workout grind (just returned from a long trip of conferences and very little training
). I want to get my goals by the end of the calendar year!
