 I'm starting to feel like myself again. The airrosti guy has gotten the scar tissue broken down to where pain isn't stopping me from doing the things I want to do very often. 

I hit Amtgard like a Bow-azon archer this weekend. Fought a grueling 2 hr battle in 92 degree weather with super-high humidity. Breaks for 'death' were 30 seconds and then back into the battle.  I must have shot 200 arrows. It was just totally insane.

My team was playing lizard-men, trying to stop the villagers from retaking their town, so we were set up to lose from the beginning as a scenario for the newer players. Our team was about half the size of theirs, but we had me (the only bow on the field) and a pair of top-level fighters.  One of them commented that he loved walking around looking threatening while I floated behind him and did all the slaying from range. 

I went out in minimal gear (just the bow and quiver, no pads or armor), so I was only carrying 12 lbs or so extra weight, but the short bursts of speed rushes we were running really got the backs of my thighs a great workout.  The 35 lb pull on the bow has put muscle back on my back and upper arms in an incredibly short span of time. A month ago, my old upper-arm bow-string protection was about half an inch loose and it's tight again and my overall weight is down, so that's pretty notable.
