My entirely unqualified opinion: Cross train. Running is the only sport where people seem to assume that the activity itself is sufficient. No one would step on a football field without having properly conditioned their body first; and although people are a lot less likely to hit you while running, I think the same principle applies.

Pete, seriously? I need to write a paper this weekend, you're killing me. How am I supposed to get anything done when you post stuff like this :)

Pete,

Looks like a great conference. Wish I could have attended. Is there any chance we could get a copy of the document you prepared and was mentioned several times in the presentation?

Thanks,
Shelly

In one of the videos it quotes a Chinese saying about not running like an elephant. Does anyone remember which clip it was so I don't have to listen to it all again? Or what the Chinese proverb was?

It was a Q&A, so we kind of just rotated through the questions.

Great advice, and something I need to do more often!
