Age Called. He Didn’t Pick Up.

Age comes up a lot — usually from two kinds of people: those under 30 who can’t imagine it yet, and those who’ve already talked themselves into a ceiling.

People use age to judge, qualify, and put you in your proverbial place. Michael Kish didn’t get the memo.

At 70, he ran the 100m at the Penn Relays in 13.47 seconds — faster than the winning time in the 65-and-over division. He pulled away from the gun and never looked back.

Age is just age. The rest is a story you’re telling yourself.
