The amazing older individuals Bergquist, a Milwaukee journalist, introduces in "Second Wind" are outliers but nonetheless inspirational. What else can be said about, to name a few, a man who has finished 42 full marathons since turning 85, a former Olympian who has set 292 national and 93 world age-group swimming records from her fifties through seventies, or an award-winning bodybuilder who is still ripped at over age 70? Some are former athletes who returned to their sports; some are not. Some have been blessed with extraordinarily good health; others have battled through cancer, heart disease, and other ills. If they share one commonality, it's the fire in the belly to chase perfection as long as they draw breath. VERDICT We might not run every single day for 38 years and five days, not taking a day of rest until our 68th birthday, like Bob Ray, but these athletes' stories should warm the cockles of the hearts of baby boomers who want proof that we never have to grow old. Recommended for all potential ageless atheletes, present and future.Jim Burns, Jacksonville P.L., FL
