My 71 year old Mum says she's never really stopped being sixteen

Since then I have now broken my own record and can now do a 12 minute Plank.
I am in the gym four mornings a week, and usually do a 2 hour session of rowing, running, weights, cross trainer, and finish off with the Plank, and then 50 push ups.

Hi-I've just been catching up with posts tonight and you are fantastic.
I've just started to re-train and you've shown me that i can do it, even though it's much easier to think "i can't do this" 😀
A lot of single people see hitting 40 as a point of no return - the trouble is Antony Cotton can't act so you don't get that paranoia.

Thanks very much. I am glad to hear that I have inspired you. Just remember, there is nothing you can't achieve if you really want it.
It is 8.20, and I have just got back from the gym, I took it easy today, just a 90 minute workout.
It has been quite a busy week, on Sunday I ran the Wingham 10K, yesterday morning I ran the local 10K as a warm up for the annual Faversham 10K on Sunday. I am trying to beat my 1 hour 15 minute record. I am not a fast runner, but I do have a lot of stamina.
Ten years ago I used to run one 10K a year, these days I sometimes run three a week, which proves that if you keep active you can get fitter, no matter what age you are.

There has been a lot of dislike (and worse) for him on here in the past, though the tide seems to be turning a bit now for whatever reason. Personally I always thought him OK.

There are some 70-odd year old people who are younger in many ways than some 20-somethings. Age in numbers is irrelevant. It's the mind that matters.”

No, not at all, but you can't act like a kid forever and I find Sean a very petulant character (Pat Phelan, of all people, seems to agree)
It's commendable to stay young at heart, and Lord knows people who are
already middle-aged at 17 can be a drag, but there's staying young at heart
and there's refusing to grow up - Sean tips a little too much towards the latter.

Why?
I was 'middle aged' at 17, so was my sister. I like to think we were relatively pleasant.
Should I have been an immature yob out being violent and stealing shopping trolleys?

how should people dress at 40? I say however the hell they want! Have you seen the pensioner who has pink hair and was recently featured in Vogue? She looks amazing and good on her.
40 has changed. So for us in that bracket growing up 40 was old. People of that age, including parents looked old before the time. Times have changed and now I'm 45 and I feel like I'm still in my 20's.

And you still will in your 60, 70s, 80s and any more you manage.
My 77 year-old husband, no longer having to dress for work, wears shorts and' Big Bang Theory' T-shirts.
And you have to contend with an old person standing in front of you when you look in the mirror - goodness knows where they actually hide in my house the rest of the time as they only appear in the mirror.
Some of the Corrie characters are wearing well, some not so.
I can't really understand why Sean is criticised so much because he doesn't have his own place. Perhaps he doesn't want to live alone. Nothing wrong with that - he obviously felt part of Eileen's family after all those years there till Phelan shook things up one way and another.
