It happens to all of us at some point - we get on a good roll, with work, with fitness, with life - and then life happens.

Sometimes when people ask me hard questions, I give a pat answer.

Co-worker: Have you seen the stapler?

Me: I have pants on. What more do you want from me?

Working with a bunch of under 30 guys means that I’m perhaps a tad more sensitive to my age than is reasonable. I promise you that once I came on board, coach's meetings became more challenging, especially when we talked about training “middle aged” clients.
