An interview with the 50, fat, diabetic, ahead of you guy (Read 458 times)

MrNamtor


    He's 50? I think he looks awful. I'm 58. My DH is almost 60, is diabetic, and looks a millions times better.

     

     

    That's cause your dh is a former rock star. All those drugs, if they don't kill you, will preserve you quite well into older age.


    You Rang?

      As I started to tire and fade off race pace at mile ten of a half marathon, I was passed by a guy whose shirt-back read, "If you can read this, I'm beating you!"  

       

      "Oh no you're not!" I told myself, and I picked up the pace to pass that guy.  With three miles to the finish line, that kinda crap works.

      Don't call me Buttercup!

        Somehow I missed this whole thing (never saw the pic on FB or anything).  Thanks for posting, this made my day. =)

        Slow and steady wins the....  wait a second! I've been lied to! 

        Just B.S.


          I think it's great that he is doing something about his health. I also think the t-shirt is funny.

           

          I don' t however think he is a good representation of us in the over 50 crowd, especially over

          50 runners. Speaking as someone who we be 51 in 25 more days.

           

          I think people focus on the fact that he is 50 rather than the "diabetic and fat" part, which is

          the real issue!
