Age is a creepin’

Played some ball yesterday afternoon. Besides not having the stamina, which is understandable given my time spent in bars vs gyms, I realized quite a bit. The game has just about passed my by now. My quick first step surprised no one, mainly because it’s no longer quick. My hops can no longer be leaned on. I may jump and get up like the ol’ days every once in a while but on average my knees prefer not to exert themselves.
And this being the second time in a week that I’ve played, I’ve noticed considerable back pain the next morning. I guess I need to stretch.
Oddly enough, knowing that the game is/has passing/passed me by makes me want to play more. I almost want to get back into shape….we’ll see how long this feeling lasts.
