Numbers and Exercise

The love of numbers is especially evident in the math genius’ aerobic exercise records. For years (he can tell you how many) he has kept a daily account of his workouts whether it was jogging, playing tennis, walking, or bike riding, and how many aerobics points he achieved that day.

About 10 years ago he gave up most every form of exercise except for indoor and outdoor biking. He now has accumulated 28,500 + miles over a period of 2346 consecutive days, or 6 1/2 years, and his average is 12 miles per day. (All the above numbers he rattled off from memory.)

These years of daily riding have continued through cataract and thyroid surgeries, in sickness and in health, during vacations and business trips. I might add that his resting heart rate is in the low 50’s.
