Let the Games Begin!

June 15, 2011 by

[HTML1] If you need an intro to an Olympic Champion, Peggy Fleming, then where the heck have you been? We know where Peggy’s going, that’s for sure. Yes, to the National Seniors Games (NSGA), a high-level, multi-sport event for the over 50 athlete.

Peggyis working with Humana and the NSGA to help champion the pursuit of lifelong well-being. The games run every two years (this year in Houston, June 16-30), and host over 15,000 athletes in over 800 events. Make that 802, once you hear the two new events Alexandra suggests to Peggy!

Also get the heretofore untold story about Peggy’s dam run and dam fall! Straight up, then straight down! Apparently she has had one moment when she was not amazing, beautiful, and glamorous. She sure was personable though!

What’s she up to now that she has overcome breast cancer? Hint — it involves a winery (FlemingJenkinsWinery.com) How does she stay so happy, strong, and vital at 62? What is her ONE MAIN piece of advice for all of us who want to even come close to her level of complete and total fabulosity (we said that, cuz’ we found her so nICE, nICE baby!)

Listen and hear directly from an Olympic Gold Medalist, National ABC commentator, and NSGA spokesperson with this Fun and Fit episode.
