About Me

Late blooming jock. Not athletic growing up, but making up for it.
Received the 6-50 recognition recently from FitCamps...best 6-pack over 50 years-old...where's my 9th grade P.E. teacher now?!

Inspirations

It's not just the first place winners and top athletes. It's usually the last ones to straggle in - they are the inspiration and deserve as many kudo's and accolades as the elite jocks and jockettes.

Biggest obstacle/challenge

The 30 year syndrome - the mind and spirit still thinks I'm 26. The body knows it is 56.

Superstitions

I had an unexpected "paranormal" experience, and it has profoundly moved me. For someone who doesn't, or didn't, believe in that kind of stuff, I'm a changed person, very much so. There is more to life and death than what we know and see. I never would have believed it either, until this mind-boggling event.

Biggest athletic accomplishment

This was worse than running a marathon...After leading a full weekend clinic, I raced to get to the furthest gate at the furthest corridor in the furthest terminal from the check-in at St. Louis airport one hot humid summer afternoon to get the last seat (middle) on the last plane going home (L.A.) that evening, with an overstuffed carry-on in each hand (this was before there were wheels on suitcases). Continued to sweat for the next 40 minutes in my seat, tired, glycogen-depleted, dehydrated, electrolyte-imbalanced, and over-heated... not a fun feeling. What we do for love.

Favorite thing about training
