Times (Summarized)

Am rereading now. Begin this post, call it a sticky, summarizing some of the "time" conclusions reached in the blog. Here are the first two from a 2/9/09 post:

2 months for a single "under stress" new born collagen fibril to initially mineralize.

30 days for a slightly damaged collagen fibril/bone cell to repair.

a single breeze in :12s will destroy 1% of the bone cells.

at any one time 4% of bone cells are undergoing repair

the exact state of repair at any given point in time--highly relevant to FR (fracture resistance)

We engage the "remodeling process" after a certain number of hoof strikes--engages at about 2.5f. Better go 4f to be sure.

And, maybe my favorite quote, 2/9/09:

"Everybody wants to be a body builder, but nobody wants to lift no dam ass weights..."

--Ronnie Coleman, 8 time Mr. Olympia
