re: When did you realize you were getting older and not a spring chicken anymore?

Played in a softball league a few years ago after not doing much athletically in a while. It hurt me.

Mid 40’s anytime I have to do manual labor. I just finished putting in about 75ft of french drain and I’ve been sore for a couple days now. And I even rented a trencher to do the hardest part!

fricked my back for a week literally pulling my 2 year old out of her car seat

38. I started sleeping like shite and just felt old. Creaky, muscles hurt etc. There really is something to be said for eating healthy, moving your body, getting in the sun and sleeping well. It's a world of difference when that all falls in line. The only problem is, is making all that happen ALL the time.

Sprained my knee before Christmas
Did not bounce back as quickly as I thought

The other day when I heard Linkin Park “In the End” on Bayou 95.7 Classic Rock station.

32. Picked up my daughter's stroller over a snow bank in 2020 and my shoulder went out. Have done therapy, strength exercises etc. It's still not right

im 40 now and still feel fit as a fiddle. no major injuries, still as strong if not stronger than when younger. no aches and pains. wits are still sharp. run on 4-6 hours of nightly sleep.

maybe in my sex drive. not nearly as much as a horn dog. me and the mrs still get it on 1-2 times a week.

i consider myself very luck thus far.

EDIT: after reading another post i do admit my eyes sight is somewhat poorer now. I have a pair of reading glasses that i rarely have to bust out at night.

Now. 39

When I started to develop lactose intolerance ~ age 28.
