Ray, is there anything one can do besides eat right and exercise?  I
do a lot of stretching, necessarily, but is something like yoga
helpful?  I know what you mean about being tired after a good workout.
I just don't seem to have the stamina I used to, and man am I ever
slow.  This is particularly unfortunate because I started out as the
slowest kid in the class!

The biggest trick is after you do increase your activity level, to
keep it up there.

I know you have some "tread" left in ya.  Now get sweating.

Enjoy Summer!
