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!
