I can honestly say that feel better physically at age 46 than I did at 36.
I celebrated my birthday with a mountain bike ride of almost 59 miles, and just over 6,200 feet of climbing. That's something I never would have dreamed was possible ten years ago, and even five years ago I would have been exhausted by one-fifth of that effort. And 14 years ago, I was trying to recover after breaking my back in three places, and I believed that such athletic pursuits were behind me.
Of course there's plenty of room for improvement, physically and in life in general, but on the whole I am a very lucky man indeed.
