Before I present Fran’s book review of It Has Nothing To Do With Age, I now fully understand why Secretariat gained weight on his vacation. Today, we ran one of our familiar 6 mile loops. Before the run, I was feeling punk and did not know if that was going to change. Generally, our feelings do change during a run, but there is no guarantee. Well, I did feel better, and in fact, I asked Secretariat to stop to tie his shoe or to pee. He knew that if he stopped he would not likely catch me today. Secretariat said that he would not stop under any conditions as a result; I did not whip him today.
Secretariat brought over his famed ice cream from the great Northwest. I said that we would treat ourselves at the end of our run. So, we had that super ice cream, and I now know why he had that treat twice a day. I told him the next time he came over there be no guarantee there would be any left. Linda also joined us with our treat and she had seconds. Remember, this happened in the morning.
Join Linda, Secretariat, Frank, Debbie, Carl, and Mary 8:30 AM at the parking lot near the fire station to mark trail and go over information regarding the Cool Ride and Tie this coming Saturday.
Needless to say, I was very pleased with the following review. Since it is lengthy, I will divide it up into three parts.
Fran's review
Sep 26, 11
I own a copy
Age is just a number and I have not picked the one I am as yet. I realize something very early on after I decided to turn thirty. Never tell anyone your real age and never allow anyone to make you feel old. You can do anything at any age and I know that and never ever allow myself to feel that I can’t do what younger people can. I won’t admit how old I am but I will say that I am much smarter than I was ten years ago and I have learned some valuable lessons along the way. One is keeping fit and having a healthy weight and eating a healthy diet. So, when I received this book to review I was really excited that I might learn some more ways to stay ahead of the aging game, learn about the author, read his stories and that of others over 65 years young and still kicking.
Set your pace at moving ahead, keep those racing shoes close by, pump yourself up for an energetic day and don’t’ let your age slow you down. Imagine competing in the Tevis Cup at age 60. Then how about a 100-mile endurance horse event over the Sierra Nevada Mountains and added to that at age 62 becoming a division winner in the 100 miles Western States Endurance run. Think you have what it takes? Frank Li9eberman is a one-man inspiration that is setting the pace for everyone 65 and over. Keeping it moving, not slowing down and remembering one important point: 70 percent of how you age: YOU CONTROL! So, let’s go to the starting line-get ready-set and here we go. See if you can keep as Frank and this reviewer take you on real life journey to improving the quality of your life and proving once and for all: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE!
Riding horse trails was Frank’s first start coming off at the starting gate joined by his wife, trainers and two Border Collies. He even learned while living on a ranch how to roundup cows that required branding and vaccinations. A real cowboy: Not so easy one might think! Finally, purchasing his own horses, learning how to ride and caring for them on his own. But, hard lessons were about to be learned even one that would haunt anyone for life. When an animal has to be euthanized that would be traumatic. Keep moving: The pace is about to pick up.
Describing his own experiences and some about those he met on he way his first entry is the Ride and Tie. Explaining the history behind the race, the excitement to prepare for it, his apprehension, fears and hopes really allow the reader to become part of the experience along with Frank as he relives each moment from the past. Life does not always run on an uphill path or trail, so when thing became out of whack or difficult it was his horses, his racing and his drive that kept him moving towards those finish lines.
