At the risk of sounding like a shameless self-promoter, which I suppose I am, there is an article in the Winter 2004 edition of Men's Health--Best Life magazine (the guy from CSI is on the cover) that I wrote about masters swimming. It's set at the Rutgers meet last summer and profiles a couple guys in my age group along with Bill Volckening, the editor of Swim and a super nice guy.
If you have any friends who are sitting on the fence about possibly returning to the water, the people I profiled might help inspire them to check out our sport's considerable benefits.
Best Life is a trial magazine of sorts that Rodale (publisher of Men's Health, Runners World, etc.) is currently selling only on the newsstand, four times a year, but is considering "launching" as a monthly. It goes against the current grain of men's magazines a la Maxim and its ilk, concentrating less on babes and beer than thoughtful analysis of subjects of interest to a somewhat older more reflective audience (40ish+) as opposed to youth oriented (18-34) demographics. I would sincerely appreciate anyone who has a bit of spare change grabbing a copy on the newstand near you!
For what it's worth, I do think you might enjoy my article--and lots of the other pieces in this issue. Thanks.
Hi, Mark. The magazine is only sold on newsstands. It may even be at the newsstand at the airport where your plane lands. Or try the local newsstands in whatever NJ town you wind up at. If you don't have any luck--i.e., it's sold out or something, let me know and I will ask my editor if there's any other way to obtain a copy. Thanks for looking!
