New goal
I’m putting running on hold for a bit, so my new goal is to work on my upper body some more and be able to do some chin-ups/pull-ups.
LA Fitness has a cool machine that lets you apply different levels of counter-weights when trying a pull-up, so you can practice the full range of motion even when you can’t lift your whole body weight.

Since you’ve got the gravitron to help you along with the pullups, give CrossFit a whirl!
Trust me, it’s addicting.

@Will – ah, I never knew it was called the ‘gravitron’. I’ve been taking a look at the CrossFit site/workouts. I’m hoping that in the near future I’ll be able to start ramping my cardio back up to a decent volume, but I think I’ll also start adding some additional crossfit inspired strength training. The crossFit FAQ about alternate exercises is a really good read
