I was running, racing bicyles and cars from 1970 (at age15) to1985 just because I was spastic and had an over abundance of energy and wanted to go as fast as whatever mode of transportation I selected would go; not running to or from something, just had the need to go fast and be on the edge. Now that I do not race anymore (more due to time and money restraints), I no longer run due to my knees cause problems occasionally, don't race cars anymore because it's way to expensive, but still cycle about 400-450 miles a month for fitness and health not because I running from or to something. However (assuming I'm still physically able) when I retire I plan to ride a bike across America then I may be running to something then-to another town, then another and another etc.

Can't deny the older age creeping up syndrome, but I can try do deny myself from becoming ill and enable my heart to remain strong for as long as God is willing. I also believe that the body is something God gave us to take care of the best we can, so that is what I am trying to do.
