Age is Meaningless, Part 7

The examples just keep coming in of what we can do as we age. The latest: a 70 year old who plans to swim the English Channel. My friend Katie Hobson writes about him over at U.S. News.

Here's one great quote: "A lot of people my age are couch potatoes and don't believe they can get back to a youthful physical state. But the body doesn't really lose its ability in endurance sports as much as we allow it to lose its ability. I want to promote that people of my age can do better than what they're doing."
