| Introduction | A little about me: I remain a competitive athlete despite the pasage of time. I placed first in my age group in the last 5K I entered. I have a life long interest in natural foods and nutrition. I guess I am no longer allowed to describe myself as an ex-marine because of the mantra 'once a marine, always a marine,' but I can say I proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps, including 13 months in Vietnam. I've completed several marathons, a triathalon, as well as two rim to rim runs of the Grand Canyon. I am currently enrolled at Mesa Community College, nearing completion of a Certificate in Nutrition for Fitness and Wellness. My blood pressure taken this morning at Sam's Club: (93/66). My last tested cholesterol level (admittedly not as recent):128. One of my current goals - run a 6:00 mile on my 64th birthday. That may not seem like much, but having been 'blessed' with an inordinate amount of slow-twitch Type 1 muscle fibers, it would be a huge accomplishment for me. I'm not bragging, merely attempting to establish my credentials, letting you know I not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. I believe the key to superior athletic performance is superior plant-based nutrition. |
