Old dudes at the gym

When I see an old dude at the gym it fills me with equal parts sadness and hope.

Sadness, because I realize at 35 I’m not in very good shape even when compared to someone twice my age. I’m in the best shape of my life, unfortunately it’s a not a great shape yet, thus the sadness.

Hope, because it reminds me that 35 is not the last chance, I can be ripped and awesome at 70 and that makes my heart soar with hope and joy.

Thanks old dude, I needed that. Now, please, put your pants back on.
