Looking Good at 60

I have not started riding again and I have only myself to blame.

We moved back in June and it has taken a while to adjust to the new location. It is not very far from Kingston, it just seems far because of the hills that I have to climb to get home. I have noticed though that although the cars, buses and trucks all travel at a zillion miles per hour up here, that doesnt stop peeps from riding.

I still havent replaced my bicycle yet (can you say pro-cras-ti-nation) I have a couple hundred US dollars in my paypal account and I have found a very basic road bicycle on amazon, so I will go with that. I am ordering it this week and will start back when it arrives. If I am going to ride up here I will have to get used to traffic on the road and will have many little hills to tackle, and leave the 10 mile run in Kingston for Saturday and Sunday mornings.

As for the title of this post, I ran into a friend of mine today, we used to work out together 10-12 years ago, he continued working out, and even openned a bodybuilding supplememt business and I let it all go to hell. He's trim, looks good and is 60 IN DECEMBER. I could not believe it, it is obvious that he dyes his hair but he's trim, his arms bulges and he looks damn good. Very simple he said "Eat right and work out hard"

He likes the fact that I am riding (will start back soon, I promise) and invited me to visit him at his store on a Saturday when he's working so we can discuss diet.

I think I will take him up on that.
