BTW, speaking of carrying, my new 70-200 VR arrived Saturday and yesterday I took it for a walk around the neighborhood. [...] Man, that lens is HEAVY. I had to keep switching arms to give them a rest.
The 70-200 weighs 3 lbs. Wait until you try the beautiful 7-lb 200-400, which is also longer so your arm is extended further. And I won't give you nightmares about the 11-lb 600... 
You'd be well-advised to start doing some minor weight-lifting (I just started recently.) Spending a lot of time holding 9 or 10 lbs of camera+lens up to eye level without significant shaking and trembling does not necessarily require more muscle, but it does require far better muscle conditioning.
