Male, 76 Years Old
Plant City, Florida
United States

76 yo cancer survivor(6yr cancer free!)
I teach Tai Chi(Yang Long Form)and Qi Gong (18 Buddha Hands).I have 2 Basset Hounds and a Senegal Parrot.
I am an active runner and one of the 5 AM "crazy" ones that is addicted to RPM and RPM Plus.
I put the liveSTRONG bracelet on my wrist the night before I began therapy and have never taken it off.Lance Armstrong was/is my inspiration
When I was told I needed 4 tattoos and a partial body cast prior to treatment I asked if the tattoos could be Dragons ,instead I got the standard green dots!
Rideeasy
and stride comfortably thru life................

"GOOD.....RUN MORE"
Those three words still inspire me almost daily even after almost 30 years.
It was at a visit to my Orthopedic Surgeon at my 1st visit after he allowed me to begin running again and to go back to the gym.
On the 21st of Sept 1979 I had fallen 2 1/2 stories from my home in Pennsylvania.I had broken my back,my legs and my left foot.Bob told me I might never walk again and that my left foot might need to be amputated.
Well I did walk again left foot did not need to be amputated and now I had started to run.
At that visit when asked how I was doing,I complained that the only time my left leg did not hurt was when I was running.
He replied "GOOD.........RUN MORE !

Steve	Lee- We missed you this morning for RPM+ ! Audrey and Dave came in and joined us for the ride. Pretty soon, that baby won't let her lean forward to reach the handlebars! It was a marvelous ride this morning, we played Desenchante for our second speed. Stephina hopped off her bike during the middle and banged on the wall for us. It was wild!
