FitOldDog’s Goals For You!

As a 2x survivor of endovascular aortic surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, my goal is to both inspire and motivate other aortic patients to return to as active life as they are able, and to do so wisely.

As a 6x Ironman finisher, and 70-year old, actively competing, Ironman-distance triathlete, and the first in the world to complete an Ironman race with an abdominal aortic aneurysm stent graft, my goal is to help older people, boomers, seniors, and basically anyone over 50, to handle aging in a positive manner.

As a life-long student of body awareness, in martial arts, Feldenkrais, and then Continuum, my goal is to keep you moving, and injury-free, as you combat the inevitable challenges of aging, and where possible to help you fix exercise-induced injuries, such as plantar fasciitis.

Best defense against sports injury is your mind

As a blogger, and student of life and aging, my goal is to provide you with interesting and instructive content on safe exercise for better health, and other subjects as I find them to be of potential value to my readers.

Look back on the race, pat yourself on the back, and take some lessons away for next year - I learned you can do an IM with an AAA-stent graft!

I can also be found on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Viddler and YouTube. For my other activities, go to FitOldDog.com.

Life is good, if you work and play to make it so!

      Hi Frits, Yep, I’m still here, and getting ready for Placid. I am also going to be in the Worlds 70.3 in Nevada, so we’ll be racing together again, fun!!!! I qualified at the Raleigh Half a few weeks ago. It would be great to see you in Vegas. Deb is coming too, and perhaps we could all have dinner together after the race, whenever that is, or go to the Cirque du Soleil? I’ve never done this race before, as 70.3 isn’t really my distance, I’m too slow. I can be reached at 1(919) 357-3226 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Let’s touch base before then, but first, Placid! Kind Regards, kevin
