I'm 47. I don't worry about age that much, but I recently had a fitness checkup at a gym. I'm no great athlete but I do run and cycle a bit. I mentioned I was training for a marathon.

The instructor, in her 30s, encouragingly exclaimed "ooh, you're doing very well for someone nearly in their 50s"

I'd never felt so old in my life :(

Don't worry about that, they're just more used to see people that ruined their bodies.

Just wait until people start opening doors for you next year.

I’m the strongest I’ve been since 25 and every time I go to the pet store they ask if I need help getting the 40lb bag of cat litter to the car.

...

When I’m feeling salty I will buy two bags or a 20lbs bag of food just so I can throw 60-80 lbs in my shoulder and strut out of the store.
