Age doesn't matter. It means nothing.
I am in just as good shape as most of the 24 year olds. On the off days, I run, lift weights and stretch. For my size, I am as strong or stronger as the 20 somethings and I am so flexible I can just about do the splits.
When I loose to someone my size, it is because the younger guys Jiu Jitsu is better. Period.
I am sore some mornings after class. But, that happened too when I was in my 20's. I consider the age thing to be the biggest myth on the planet. It is just an excuse.

This is awesome that you feel this way. You have a great attitude. Age does matter however. If someone made you 24 years old again you would feel a difference on the mats trust me. Aging is alive and real my friend.
