Mr Fixx apparently had a family history of coronary disease, he took up jogging at 37 weighing about 250 lbs with a two pack a day cigarette habit, and died while jogging at age 52. My personal speculation that the approximate 15 year life span after taking up jogging was considerably longer than he would have had if he had continued his dissolute life style. We all gotta die sometime and I think he went for a certain type of quality of life. Bob Brown {...ihnp4!akgua!rjb} AT&T Technologies, Inc.............. Norcross, Ga (404) 447-3784 ... Cornet 583-3784
