Erik. I think you are right about the burn out factor being a very real possibility and/or at least diminishing returns (innevitable). One of the things I have been doing is using this as an opportunity to relax after work. I come home, grab one of the kids and head over to the pool and use this as an opportunity to meditate. I am doing mostly O2 tables and find the breath up intervals VERY relaxing but also the hold intervals as well. I come back after 25 minutes a whole new person, ready to face the evning.

Now when I say kids...I mean teens and though not the perfect spotter/buddy, it's also part of why I have been pretty conservative in how far I push myself. They do konw CPR, but I'd rather not count on that.

As for food...I am a vegitarian and eat pretty well, but the point about anti-oxidants is well taken. Thanks...
