Some (Almost) Middle Aged Guy Pics - Updated 3/25/07

Wow! That torso is one of the best I've seen so far in here (please forgive me guys if you look just as hot as PapaB and I've never seen your pic! )

Too bad you are a bit too old for me! (Not that 38 is old, but I'm 23 !!)

Looking good PB!! Nice to have another guy join the "shirts off" club here! (And at 38, you're still a young-un to me!) Way to go and keep on keepin' on dude!!

i know! none of the women ever take their shirts off!

looking good PB!

Finally decided to take a picture and post it up here. Sorry it's not a very good picture. I'll try taking a better one.

Oh my.....if this isn't a good one don't know if we cuold handle the "good one"

Lookin Good!!!!!

I'd have to agree with julta... I don't know if I could handle a better photo! Hubba hubba... you're quite the hottie! All that hard work is definitely paying off! Nice wedding ring too... you might not want to tell your wife that you have your own female fan club on this site... she might not let you come back to post with us! 3 cheers for the male shirts off club! Awesome stats... I can't believe you have such a low resting heart rate! Fantastic!

[anewmetosee!]

Wow! You look fantastic!! What a handsome guy!

[PapaBanucci]

Thanks.

Shucks. I'm blushing. My wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary in December. I'm in the best shape I've been in any of those 15 year and I think I look better than the day we got married. A lot more gray hair though. (And please don't say anything involving the word "distinguished.")

[SoulLips]

Congratulations on your anniversary! 15 years and you're only 38... that is wonderful!

I have to take issue with the middle-aged descriptor too. I'm too close behind you to accept that one. Middle age doesn't start until 45, and don't anyone tell me otherwise! (that gives me another 8 years and change...)

You're hot, PapaB! Great job!

[PapaBanucci]

I have to take issue with the middle-aged descriptor too.

Yeah but, I have to say again...

I have got to start living life to its fullest because it could be I've taken half the breaths I'll ever take!

(I wish I wouldn't have wasted so much of the 20s and 30s being sedentary. Oh well.)

I was on vacation this last week and did a fair bit of running, hiking, and climbing. I liked this picture so I thought I'd post it.

[SoulLips]

GREAT photo! It looks like you were having a blast!

[lpkcarlson]

Wowsers! You look great! Love the hiking pics---where were you?

[PapaBanucci]

Finally made it back here.

Anyhow the climbing pic is in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Gorgeous place. I live in Colorado and found the Black Hills incredible.

Thought I'd go ahead and post this photo of me doing some serious trail running (at 13,000 ft. elevation none the less!) this summer. I previously posted it in the running thread, but I kind of like it so thought I'd put it up.

Have the same shirt for running! Do you wear glasses while running?

[shoegal54]

nice pipes ya got there

[PapaBanucci]

Have the same shirt for running! Do you wear glasses while running?

Yeah, I have a lot of Under Armour-type stuff now for working out. It's comfy and stays drier than cotton. Good and safe for the great outdoors. Also great for layers for skiing.

Glasses? Usually not. My eye sight is almost good enough to drive without glasses, so usually I run without glasses or contacts.

However, for outdoor mountain trail running, I either have contacts or glasses. In this pic I was running/hiking up and down one of Colorado's highest peaks. I bit it later on this run. Granite bites.

We tent camped near the trailhead the previous night and I usually take glasses rather than contacts when camping or backpacking because it's easier for me to keep the eyes uninfected that way. I also wear glasses for work.
