Gene Daulton from Ohio is truly an amazing woman.Regardless of the cold, the wind or the lack of sunshine, Gene takes to the lake on a daily basis.The photo above was taken while I was in long pants and a sweatshirt at about 65 degrees in a really strong crosswind.Gene is at the lake five days a week running her passes.At 83 years of age, many of her peers are slowly walking the halls of their assisted living facilities, pushing along their walkers.Not Gene!She had knee surgery which hampered her skiing for a year but did not keep her off the water.Gene could only make buoys on one side of the course during this period but through her strength and sheer determination, Gene slowly regained most of what she lost.Today, Gene is making the best of the course in the worst of conditions.Gene sets a prime example of what daily exercise and healthy eating over a lifetime will accomplish.At 83 years of age, Gene’s quality of life meets and exceeds that of many 30 year olds.Gene is truly an inspiration!
