   I don't run too much, and when I do I limit it to about a half-hour; don't want   
   to fsck up my hip replacements. (In our local "masters" soccer league, a number   
   of people fscked theirs up by continuing to play.) I ride the bike a lot and go   
   to the gym.   
      
   Anyway, enough about me :-D
