2 years ago my GP (after looking at MRI of R Knee) says "Your running days are over." I am running still, stronger than ever. Good GP for general things - not good for sports! Thank goodness for PT husband.

Today, at work (I work in a hospital) an intern (in her 20's) comes up to me and says "I want a butt like yours!" I'm in my early 50's - now that's a compliment! It totally made my day.

Age is a number - there are so many fantastic role models of older, active, engaging individuals. How could I not want to be like that?
