When I was 32 I had two friends pass away within a week of each other. One was 3 weeks younger than me. Since then I decided I would never complain about getting older because there are too many people who won't get the chance to be old.

I teach a spin class at 5:30 in the morning and my 50th birthday fell on a class day. I announced to my class that it was my 50th birthday and that they were going to have an old lady run them into the ground. I then proceeded to do one of the hardest classes I've ever done - it was great motivation!
