Yes, Ken, I was joking. I actually eat pretty healthy most of the time. I do eat my share of desserts though, just not every day. Running 30 miles a week, or more, is really a good way to keep the weight off. My legs get a little sore, but I feel pretty healthy/good most of the time. Over-training can be brutal. I've had injuries that have kept me off the road for up to 6 months. They've all been caused by worn out shoes, adding too much mileage at one time or some other little preventable cause. Running is a great sport though, I recommend it to anyone. Jim Fixx notwithstanding.

He turned the country onto running, back in the Eighties, but dropped dead by the side of a road during a run. Heart attack. A lot of people -- most of whom were looking to excuse or rationalize their own lack of activity -- took a kind of perverse pleasure in not just his death, but how he died. Fixx obviously exercised a great deal, but according to what I read, he thought exercise alone was sufficient to ensure a healthy life. An autopsy reportedly revealed that his coronory arteries had blockage of 95, 85, and 50 percent. So, all I am saying to Oliver (who I assume was joking anyway about eating "all the dessert you want" if you run) is: I love your sense of humor and reading your posts every day, and hope to keep reading them for years to come. Take care of yourself and be selective with what you eat. Running alone doesn't guarantee anything. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.
