I Aint No Spring Chikken No Mo

Post by Hungary Jack »

Man, my knees are still cranky after that long backpack trip. My shoulder feels pretty good, but I am still doing pushups from my knees. And now it's sore after a 50-mile bike ride yesterday with Mrs. Jack. And my back is barking at me again.

It just aint fair, I tell you. You get to the point where you have some spare time and some spare money, but your body doesn't want to cash the checks anymore.

What do you expect your body to feel like after doing that much exercise?

I would say about 90% of people would come back sore as hell after doing that stuff. Hell, I bet most people couldn't even do it!

Let's just say that expecting something and wanting something are different things. Point is that stuff like this didn't used to phase me too much. No longer the case. Thus my lamentations.
