This 92-year old man ran up 86 floors in a race in the Empire State building in NYC. No Joke! The winner did it in only 10 minutes plus change.

I work in a 54-story office building and once walked up 48 floors.

I almost died!

I get your point 'cause I'm the same. I usually try to be nice or at least seem nice while I'm in the company of elder people like for example in the subway. I try to be as nice as possible without losing too much face. hehe
But some just starts to eye-ball you! Perhaps it's my "radical" looks. Crazy
