Feeling my age
#26
I started feeling my age in my early thirties when I first started going to a gym.
BEFORE: I just did stuff --> backpacking, cycling, soccer, hockey, skiing, plus some related excersising. I had some muscle soreness, at times, but it quickly dissipated.
THEN: at 30+ I realized the soreness never fades.
SOON: I started to miss being muscle-sore on days that I wasn't.
NOW: I'm 66 and being a little muscle-sore makes me feel normal and content

NEVER! I went to a cardiologist today for a stress test and she had that same puzzled look on her face as every other cardio has. He's 65, a little overweight, but the treadmill doesn't stress him and he's cracking jokes through it all. She stopped it at 132bpm, and that's below my average while riding for hours on end. I told her I do a harder stress test almost every day. While waiting I was looking at my max HR for the last bunch of rides and one showed as 193, but that couldn't be. It was just my HR strap jumping around while it got started, it was still over 170 at some point on that ride. 187 is the max in the last year.
So no, I don't feel my age.
