In his prime, he could bench press 300 pounds. He also ran more than 20 marathons, including 12 Bostons (best time: 2:50) as well as five 50-mile races. He's married to the Russian Princess and loves barbells, Maine and jeeps, not necessarily in that order. His column "Well Being" appears every other week in Health & Science.
