Glad to hear that. So far everybody has been super friendly and helpful. Great group of people.

Get back down to 180 lbs. Get my strength and conditioning going again. Buy new running shoes, get my run time back down to my Marine Corps time to 3 miles in 19:00 minutes flat. Start doing yoga with my wife, disguise it as bonding time but really too improve rubber guard (kidding). Train at least three times a week. Get at least a 3.2 this semester. Get into UC Berkeley, make their Sociology program (ranked #1 in the world) my bitch. Train with Eddie in LA.
