Let the pre-workout lifestyle begin

I've had a life goal for many years. I want to be able to slam dunk a basketball on a regulation 10' hoop when I reach 40 years old. I am 38 now. When I turn 39 I plan to start training in earnest to reach my goal of dunking. That would give me a full year to put some spring back into these old legs. I've been riding my bike up and down this long and narrow and hilly island I live on a couple of times a week. I stretch daily (or I try to) and yesterday I shot some baskets on my own personal gravel court. I made plans to meet another kid at the activity center (aka the school) in two weeks at Monday night basketball. It will probably only be the two of us there, or maybe just him if I fail to show. So if this is actually the start of my training it gives me 16 months until I reach 40 and another 12 mo. after my birthday while I am technically still at the age of 40. I am 6'4" tall, so dunking is no cake walk even for a former high flier like myself. I would like to record video of the day of truth when it comes (Jan 30, 2010). God willing I will live long enough to see that day and many more thereafter.
