A million years ago in my early twenties, fresh out of the Navy's "Submersible Fleet", I entered a new life of College and curiosity... When it sunk in that being over 200 lbs meant I had no future as a track star, I joined a club for body builders as a "wanna-be" and was introduced to power-lifting by a couple of club patrons... I was toooo spindly for the heavyweight class and toooo tall and bulky for the lighter weight classes... I also found that jogging clubs had a class for us over 200 lbs called the "Clydesdales", and thus renewed my interest in distance running... I lifted and jogged, finding a happy medium, which I swear still serves me today, now that I'm fat and old, but in good health by all indicators (other than the bathroom scale)...
