Some of the younger athletes in the 55-59 age group 800 meters
It’s still challenging for me to get my arms around the notion that this world competition is only for “old people”, and that I am one of those old people.

At 52, jeff noel was one of the freshman at the 25th annual Huntsman World Senior Games. Aging athletes must be at least 50 years old or they are not eligible.

Can you see where this is going? Our similarities are different.
Look closely at the reflection...
Children pay little attention to what we say, they just watch what we do, and generally follow our example. From a health and wellness standpoint, jeff noel takes solace in this. From a slowing down and enjoying life perspective, well, noel has work to do.
