If you're the type who spends most of your time sitting, whether it is a

fractures and breaks than those who maintain an active lifestyle. That's
because such sedentary activities do not increase bone density.

It is truly lamentable that we can add bone density problems to the long
list of things such as cardiac atrophy, impaired tidal volume,
constipation,
arthritis, autoimmune disease, mental dullness, diabetes, lugged gut and
other inflictions of the inactive exercise adverse. Vigorous exercise can
be
viewed as a type of insurance policy, here's just one example:

We've always heard that a material object can be replaced but your
wellness
can't be. Wellness is not purchased, it is a matter of lifestyle choice
and
commitment. It's not a distraction, is not fun but rather long lasting
contentment apparently appreciated by few and enjoyed by even less.

In old age people spend so much on their health. Smaller investments
earlier
in life would have yielded much higher returns.




I ran a marathon Sunday morning. I'm still a little tired today.

That is excellent Frank! Did you have a good elapsed time?

Not particularly. Past through twenty at 2:55, then hit the wall at
21, severe cramping in leg muscles, had to hobble in to finish. It
was hot.

Another shot in late Nov., trying for a sub 4:00. BAA qualifier for
my age. cooler course might do the trick.



Time spent
marathoning is added to your life!

Twenty-six miles and change in four hours. Let's see now, 26 divided by four
= 6.5. ****, man, I can WALK that fast.

That Hungarian *woman*, Constantina Tomescu-Dita, won the Beijing Olympic
marathon in 2 1/2 hours and she's a babe.

Let's see Neal, how old are you? Bring it on, any time any place, any
distance. You're starting to sound like Bobsprit. Big talk, no
action.

Take it easy on old, decrepid Wilbur. Why not challenge him to a bicycle
race and give him a head start? Make it interesting and put some money on
it.

I have thought about it a bit and I really believe a bicycle race the length
of a marathon would be a fair and just contest. Rickety old Wilbur could
fish a bicycle out of the dumpster and with all his wheezing, coughing and
defunct liver could do the 26 miles in about the time it takes someone to
run it (4 hrs or so). I'm sure I could talk deluded Wilbur into the
challenge if he's liquored up enough. I'd say time trial it, no drafting,
each man on his own. Even giving Wilbur a head start would be a sure bet,
it's not like he can hold 24+ mph (on a non-aero bike) for over an hour or
he's a contender for some sanctioned cycling championship or that's he a top
rated cyclist for his age group and those 20 years younger, let alone a
locally noted triathlete. No way on that front. I'll even run a sag wagon
for poor dilapidated Wilbur and pick up the pieces as he goes along.

How about it?

I believe it is time to exit the puppet show since I may be the only
