You are SO bad!

I think Jim Fixx had a family history of heart disease.

I read about Fixx once and people did balk at his early death—"This guy runs marathons and look what happened to him!" But it was pointed out that his father died young, too. Also, he was a stressed-out Wall Street type who over smoked/drank/etc. prior to his running days.

Finally, they pointed out that, at least, the man's quality of life was improved by his healthy ways. On this I agree. None of us are guaranteed the next breath, but our lives ARE less burdensome if our bodies aren't all screwed up by excess. (And I KNOW about excess!)

Yeah, and Pete Maravich.
