Ya gots to start being a little more cautious cuz ya ain't 45 anymore. Age has an interesting way of:
1. sneaking up on you
2. sapping you of youthful natural strength and athleticism
I was a five sport athlete in Ohio Big School division and was all state second team twice. Won a couple of big school football titles in my youth as well. Played Men's class A softball till I was 44 and was pretty good at that too. Had a .750 batting average for my career. That's why I was the lead off hitter because I could usually get on base and score.
All that has changed. I cannot run anymore. I can barely walk as it is. And my strength has waned from lack of weight lifting and training.
I am still fighting getting back to what was normal for me before all the medical stuff happened last year..
So, just a word of caution. As we get older we need to exercise a little more caution because we simply THINK we can do the same things we did when we were about 15 years younger or so.. Its a hard and humbling lesson to learn because I don;t like like to admit am not the athlete I once was and am in fact fairly weak without much stamina.. Hopefully it gets better but this same aging process is no respecter of persons. Ribs can tell you the same thing.
I am very glad you did not break a bone landing on rocks.
I am only concerned for your well being and Miz De's state of mind worrying about her super hero.. LOL!!!!!
Jes concerned about ya big guy..
Yer fellow aging pal.....
