So I ran a 5K this morning and was so inspired by the fact that an 84 year old woman and a 92 year old man both jogged(they did not walk) the entire 5K....it made me realize that no matter what your age, as long as you put your mind to it, you can achieve it! My time was 28:10, still not great, but a minute faster than my last one, so atleast it's an improvement!:drinker: :drinker: :happy: :happy:

    Dang.......I guess I better stop complaining!!:laugh: :laugh:

    I watched a woman, whom I guessed her age at 75 or so, work out on the machines in front of me. I was challenged to up my weight. But when I saw her do a full out scissor split-I knew she had beat me!!

    :wink: Never too old!!!
