Mahler,
It's very likely that not only could you pass as your friend's son, you are probably in far better shape than his son would be...
Great post! It's amazing how many times in our daily lives that extra strength and/or lung power come in handy. And exercise definitely does a number on the aging process. It's hard to relate to my sedentary friends and their backaches, etc. Of course, I guess they don't have knee tendonitis from running and rotator cuff twinges, but I'll take those minor inconveniences over general declining physical condition and lack of strength.
