Age is only a number

I had the rare opportunity to go to my workout at school and take a class during the day this week. Daytime classes are my favorite and used to be my only time to train. Now that my children are older and I work in the mornings again, I have to juggle my schedule like most and make time in the evenings for a workout.

I was surprised to see a senior who usually attends the 6:30pm evening classes, at the mid-day opportunity.

And when I say senior, I mean he is a Master, ranking above me an Instructor, and next week he will be celebrating his 70th birthday.

That's right, I said 70.

We were workout partners for the class and it was a wonderful time. I told him that he had to be in class with me a week before my 70th birthday (I'm 44). He laughed, but frankly, I wouldn't count him out.
