After a very dismal start, I'm finally putting on the mileage I want at the pace I was last year pre heel-spur. Funny, for the heel spur I picked up these "Heal that Pain" heel inserts and they actually worked for me. The logo looks like it's from the 1950's, and without the money back guarantee I would not have tried them. Anyway, carrying 26 lbs in a crappy pack, I'm doing 6 to 8 miles a day again (6 days a week)in under 2hrs. Looks like things are finally going to come together for me here.

Balzaccom, how's the biking coming?
