Schmitz dreamed of running, and beating, the four-minute mile - a physical accomplishment not many people have achieved. In 2024, at the ripe old age of 53, A.J. ran from cheeseburgers and wine, ran to a treadmill, and trained his body to fulfill that dream. With a grit and determination not usually found in lazy, past-their-prime men, he restructured his diet, strengthened his conditioning, and focused his mind by eliminating things he desired - like wine and not running. As his belly decreased with his mile time, the finish line came closer and closer into view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included in this collection are A.J.'s reflections on the love\/hate relationship he has playing golf, as well as his days getting tossed around the mats on the path to a black belt in jiu-jitsu. He analyzes the \"good ol' days\" of professional sports, and provides the ultimate guide for watching the Super Bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA.J.'s biting wit and sarcastic style are on full display in these hilarious memoir essays documenting the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
