"Old" Redefined
I went for a long run yesterday (well, long for me anyway) and at about the halfway point of my run I saw someone running the other way (I was running along Rt. 117 just past the 287 interchange) but it was a bit far off and I couldn't make out the details. As we drew abreast I realized that there were actually 4 people running in a line. We waved at each other in the normal way, but it wasn't until they had all run passed that it hit me that everyone in the group was 60+ years old. Here I was all proud of myself for being out running at 7AM in a brisk 20 degree breeze, but it's quite another thing to be doing it at 65 years old with a group of like minded friends.
It is great seeing anyone while out running, but I really enjoyed being in the company of my betters, even if for a brief moment. I'm thinking that old means an age somewhat more advanced than the group I passed...
