Sorry my friend. We are not our parent's generation. Yes, we're boomers born in '49 and '52. Our parents survived the Great Depression, won WWII and gave us a wonderful life. Yes, we smoked, did drugs and did lots of stupid things, but we got smart in our 20s-30s. We started exercising, eating better, and abusing our bodies in healthier ways.
My father had his first big one four years before I retired at 61. He had too good a job and expense account. Lots of travel and bad food. He died of heart disease related too second hand smoke from coworkers and my mother. My mother died of lung cancer. Wife's parent both died of LUNG cancer from smoking.
We hike, bike, walk, work out and challenge out bodies. We have bikes on the back of our Jeep. Our bays are filled with backpacks, boots, etc. We hike to 13K go back to the HM or home and drink a bottle of wine and go to bed by 9.
We are not affluent. We don't own a Marathon. We are just enjoying what is left of our life. The torch passes on.
Remember, just keep moving fast enough to stay ahead of the first shovel full of dirt. Because, when the first shovel full of dirt hits you, it is all over.
