Your Life as Every Gym Rank

DESCRIPTION A week ago a doctor read two numbers off a form. The first one was your blood pressure. The second one was how many years you had left if it didn't come down. That one you heard. This is your life as every gym rank, from the day you stand at the bottom of a staircase you can't climb to the day you take it two steps at a time without noticing. Six years. Age 35 to 41. Not just the body. The job, the money, the mirror you got rid of, and the man who came back for the whole thing. You don't win because you never quit. You quit more than once. You win because you came back one more time than you gave up. So before you close this, be honest about one thing: which level are you standing on right now? The real one, not the one you tell people.
