#37 - Are you an aging and aspiring adult looking to take back your health, optimize your age, and live stronger in your second half?

That's what this episode and my guest Al Lyman are all about.  We talk about how to beat aging and how to stay young longer.

When Al Lyman was 25, he made a conscious decision to "die healthy."  The phrase he used at the time was to "square the curve."  Every day since then, he's made it his goal to learn how to create good health and vitality and then share what he's learned with others so they too might benefit.  That journey let him to writing a book at age 62 titled Age Well and Feel Great:  The Proven Path To Solving The Aging Puzzle.

You won't want to miss this episode!

#35 - I am training for my first marathon in 20 years.  I ran 8 marathons from my late 30s to my early 40s - but none in the last 20 years.

As I have been training, I realized that almost everything I am doing now is different than 20 years ago - and better! 

 Not only that, I am enjoying it so much more.

I'm not just older, but wiser.    

On this episode I am sharing the 10 reasons my marathon training is better now than when I was younger.  My hope is that this episode will encourage and inspire you to do great things - or at least get you thinking.
