It Has Nothing To Do With Age provides self-help principles. The inspirational stories give concrete illustrations of overcoming many of life's challenges. Difficulties pertaining to depression, grief, divorce, and death are presented and worked through by the participants. Physical impairments, injuries, overcoming issues with weight, alcohol, and nicotine are also dealt with and resolved by the athletes.

This book provides a model on how to overcome some of the difficulties that confront all of us . Further, this read sheds a beacon of light on preventive measures for good physical and mental health. Research demonstrates that exercise is an important component in treating such ailments and debilitating illness such as depression, stroke, heart disease, brain or cognitive malfunction,and Alzheimer's disease.

I suggest that proper exercise can be used as a preventive measure for psychological, cognitive, and physical health as well. Follow my prescription and lead a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life.

Frank's running progress since injuring his Achilles

1. I ran a 30 K. in November to test my Achilles. In rehab, I had not run that distance before the November Helen Klein run. Running time was not great. But I completed the run in about four hours                              
2. My next test of my Achilles was the Jed Smith 50 K. at the beginning of February. My time was improved as I did six hours plus. However, my Achilles was fine. I was tired  the last night miles or so.
3. Last Sunday's run at Lake Chabot was a 20 K.and my time a respectable two hours and a few minutes. It is clear that my speed and endurance are both improving. A big part of that improvement is because of Tony. I train harder with him because he doesn't wait for me. I have to catch him or put it another way-I would like to catch him. Thanks Tony.
