So your brain functions decline which causes your body to want to move less which leads to a decline in mental health. And decline in mental health has been known to cause further decline in brain functions.

You just fight yourself and do it all anyway. The biggest obstacle you have to overcome in life is yourself.

That's amazing. I prepared and placed a ghost bike for an 85 year old man who was told by his doctor to stay active to live longer. He was struck and killed by a driver while riding in his neighborhood. Life just isn't fair. I can only hope to have his gumption when I reach that age. It takes every bit of my willpower to just get out of bed. RIP Mr. Rucker
