    nothing more than consistency with exercise -- he clocks up
    a daily total of 8-10 miles, some walking, some jogging, and
    leading an otherwise relaxed lifestyle. He also sticks to a
    strict vegetarian diet that he believes helps him to stay in
    peak physical condition."

    he says. "I get worn out like any other athlete. But running
    has given me a goal in life. If I had to stop, then that
    would be it. I think I would drop dead in the morning.""
