+1. At 54 and climbing it's hard to fathom not taking care of ones health.

I had the day off today to go to the funeral of the 19 y.o. son of a friend. (one of two kids killed in a crash ). Many of my peers/coworkers were there. As we left T & E asked for a ride to BART. I'd driven, said fine.

Less than a half a block T said "I won't make it to the car". And it's a good thing she waited for me to jog to the car because I'd mistaken where I parked and had to go around 6 blocks.

It's not being carded, looking better, that's all good but I want to be able to do what I want to do for as long as I want to do it and enjoy life as long as possible. Sure if disability or injury was the case that's different but I see no reason I can't run to find my car at 54, 64 ..... etc.

Forgetting which street I parked, that's another thread
