Natural Running Canada 
I had no doubt that you would still be chugging away at his extreme fitness thing and hoping that it’s treating you well. Up until last year I’d been pretty crippled up with two severely arthritic knees, but had them both replaced together 19 months ago and have a new lease on life. My advice to anyone who is our age and is truly suffering , get it done , I’m not running ( don’t want to have to get another set before I’m 90 ) but am power walking. I was just sitting here thinking about Mac days and said to Theresa , “wonder if Stape is still running barefoot , so I googled you up. Hope you and Patty are enjoying life on Lake Huron. Smitty.
