Why dink around? Go for it, be the best. It is worth whatever risk there is even if you fall short. You will be better.

I think I'll have to read that a couple of times (or once more with no distractions.)
 
It seemed to say that fitness is not tied to exercise.???

Right, see the "per meter/second risk decreases" part:
Quote
Adjustment for physical activity (kilometer/day run) had little effect   on the per meter/second risk decreases for nonfatal myocardial   infarction (from 64% to 63%), combined CHD deaths and nonfatal   myocardial infarction (from 34% to 33%), angina pectoris (from 53% to   47%) or revascularizations (from 32% to 26%). In conclusion, the results   suggest that cardiorespiratory fitness is a CHD risk factor, largely   independent of physical activity, which warrants clinical screening.
