Hi John!  Thanx for the welcome. I hope I can bend your ear and others for
suggestions on training and staying in STREND shape. I must admit that with the
disciplines and time factor that there maybe is a better way to train. Also, I
guess that the web site for STREND will update me as to competitions/gatherings
(I live in Rhode Island....... not exactly an oasis for locales.....     Hope to
see you all soon!    Gene

Welcome to STREND, Gene. We are a small but inspired group.

I started training for STREND about 10 years ago at age 48 and still love it
although the years are slowing me down.

Now I am into the maintenance phase of life-just trying to avoid injury so I can
keep playing with the "kids".

Hope to see you at the next STREND!

John Carmony

Hi to all STREND people! My name is Gene and have recently joined. I am a
chemist by trade and have been into physical fitness ever since my days in the
U.S.M.C. I was interested in taking my fitness to the next level and a friend
told me about you. I will be hitting the big "50" this Feb. and have been really
been serious about training. From what I have read, this is exactly what I'm
looking for! Hope to compete/meet some of you soon! Gene
