Jo Mar,

I want to stay fit and strong. This would include resistance training without a doubt.

I also live by the ocean. Prior to the onset of TOS, it would be common for me to drag my kayak down to the river and then "sprint" for 1:15 out to the ocean and then to the beach to meet up with the family.

We're talking pretty vigorous physical activity.

It would be interesting to know what the likes of a Hank Blaylock is up to these days. While he certainly can't play baseball at a professional level anymore I wonder if he's still engaged in athletic activities. I'd guess it would be very difficult for someone at his level to just drop vigorous physical activity. And from what I remember about Hank, he was jacked.

I'm not saying I'm Hank Blaylock, but I'm just not meant to be one of those people who grows old, gets fat, and just slumps away. If I have to settle for considerably less, that will be difficult.

And god knows this attitude works against me.
