So, when the family gathered late this afternoon for Thanksgiving dinner at our house, in-laws and others all asked, at different times, "Hey, Joe, did you read Dilbert this morning?"
Yes I did. And, as a 53 year-old marathon runner, it was within a single digit of hitting right on the money.
One relative asked "So, does 53 feel old?" "Only if you are in your 20s" I replied.
Yeesh.
So I smile. Even if the ITB hassled me during my meager 4 mile run today, I'll stick with it, 53 or not. With weather in the mid 60s, light whispy clouds in a beautiful blue sky on Thanksgiving Day in Indiana, who cares? It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed it.
Persevere. Gums and all.
i read that one this morning too -- i think it says more about that boss (can't think of his name) than marathoners being 54. (which, btw is not old) :o)
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you-just joined the 50's crowd. Thank heaven the stuffing was soft!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that you're only as old as you feel. And, if you're running marathons, there's nothing old about you. Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteYea, you need to learn all us young guys a lesson!
