"Forever Young"

I have decided to live forever! So far so good!

Well maybe not forever but for a while at least. And I think I can take some pride in the fact that those things within my control as relates to my health are generally "in control". I didn't have what I would call a great training day today and yet when I reflect back on it, I swam a kilometer, rode my bike for 45 kilometers, and then did a total body resistance workout. While maybe in the realm of Ironmen it wasn't that spectacular, it's actually not that bad for an old guy who almost met his maker not that long ago. While I'm trying hard to keep my intensity and passion up, I am also trying to keep it all in perspective. If the very worst result of this whole initiative is that I end up a very fit 53 year old then I suppose that's ok. I know this. There are very few grampas out there who can out-play their grandchildern like I can, and I have not reached my potential yet....both as an older athlete, and as a younger grampa. Besides I have to keep up with the Kyles now you know, and they're in pretty good shape.

I wish to dedicate day 203 to Rod Stewart...."Forever Young"

....and much to my surprise Dylan had a very similar song...

“May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young."---Bob Dylan

“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair"---Anon

"The idea is to die young as late as possible."---Ashley Montagu
