My license plate says
FT HPNZ. Ive had various responses to it; Fifth place
in New Zealand? Faith happens? Fat harpoonz?
None of the above. It stands for Fit Happens! An oblique
message to myself as well as others, and a clever reference
to another current saying not quite so nice. However, it isnt
true. Fit doesnt just happen, it takes work. A lotta work. Concerted
effort, planned program, honest commitment.
I thought it might be interesting to spend a few columns on the alphabet
of fitness; beginning with A.
Alphabet of Fitness This "Alphabet of Fitness" series
is twenty-six articles. Twenty-six- point-two is the distance
of a marathon; seems appropriate. The point-two will be a few "foot notes."
