FT HPNZ
Elaine Doll-Dunn

My license plate says FT HPNZ. I’ve 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 isn’t true. Fit doesn’t 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."

A is for Attitude - B is for Benefits - C is for Commitment - D is for Distance - E is for Endorphins
F is for Fartlek - G is for Goals - H is for Heroes - I is for Italy - J is for Junk
K is for Kentucky - L is for LaLanne - M is for Marathon - N is for Nutrition - O is for Older
P is for Play
- Q IS FOR Quintessential - R is for Research - S is for Spider - T is for Training
U is for Understanding - V is for Visualizing - W is for Wedding - X is for Excellence
Y is for You - Z is for Zenith
