PRetty cool interview, I really lfeel like i'm in the same boat, in bad shape trying to slowly chip away at the fitness.

I found that spark. It's hard to articulate exactly what it is. But running all the miles and doing all the weights, and icing, and eating right and sleeping right, it's just gathering dry material and at the end you have a pile of sticks. And just remembering what it's like to catch fire; I caught fire again.---julia lucas
