The Gym as a place of age conciousness 2 years ago

In a way, everyone at the gym is ‘delaying the decay’ as a friend of mine once said, and you see this in a thousand ways with a simple visit to the gym. Usually I run outside, but the cold has forced me indoors and here you get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Regardless, it reminds me not to judge others, nor yourself, too harshly. We are all fighting the good fight by heading into move our bodies.
