This is what “rain or shine” really looks like 🌧️👏 At 71 years old, Wendy Alexis powered through the rain to win the Women’s 70–74 200m national title at the Canadian Masters Athletics Championships 🇨🇦🏅 Watching her compete in those conditions reminded me of something football teaches you very quickly: you rarely get the perfect pitch, weather or moment. Once the whistle goes, you adapt and get on with the job. That ability to adapt matters throughout life because the conditions change as we get older too... The goal may change, and so might the way you prepare, yet society is often too quick to treat age as a reason to lower expectations before someone has tested what they can still do. Most of us aren’t chasing national titles, but we all have moments when an excuse feels easier than starting. Keep testing what’s possible. You may still have plenty of races left to win!! 💪 (🎥 Athletics Canada)

New research shows that seasoned birders — including older adults — had denser tissue in parts of the brain tied to attention and perception. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

Canada is America’s top customer, supporting a U.S. trade surplus in manufactured goods, while also providing affordable and reliable energy that fuels the U.S. economy. Thanks for the discussion, @ChrisCuomo.
