5. Cons
•Being scolded by my
senior neighbours for
running
•“You are going to ruin
your knees!”
•“You don’t see any old
runners do you?
•Worst was
•I developed a physical
illness that was
mysterious
6. I visited my family physician
•He asked me the usual questions
•When did it start?
•What makes it worse?
•What makes it better?
•He was struggling for a diagnosis
7. The key question was When Did it Start?
•To be honest I did not know?
•Then I checked some of the early
BIM documentation
8. Fit Test Map
•One look and my
Doctor saw the trend
•8 arrows on one slide!
9. My Doctor Probed Further
•Were there any Traumatic
Arrow Events (TAE’s)?
•No can’t think of any?
•Then I remembered
•Does anyone know what it
was?
The Traumatic
Arrow Quiz
15. Life after exercise
•Has anyone tapered off their training? I
have a solution!
•Does anyone remember when we were
gassed?
•We were hooked up to CO2 cylinder
which simulated exercise
•Which led me to conclude
•Does anyone know?
Exercise is
redundant

indoors, pets are good too!
