There's a reason that you don't see people volunteering as accountants or tv shows and movies focused on the thrilling world of software engineering...)<br /><br />I've spent years saying "I'm not an athlete. I'm not a gym guy. I'm a martial artist, I'm this or that..." Wait. I mountain bike (and the youngster is finally getting to where I can take him on dirt!). I've played a number of sports, coached a few too. I've been going to the gym regularly for most of the last 25 years, with a few breaks. Well, darn... I am a gym guy. I am an "athlete" (whatever the hell that means).<br /><br />We're all getting older, we all pay the dues for the things and choices we made as we get older. But -- like you at least alluded to -- different doesn't mean bad. Kasey posted about this recently, too... The thing is to make those changes the ones you want them to be.<br /><br />And -- yep, got some work in those areas myself.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393212692342514984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-27982135774300206622017-04-26T10:32:41.576-07:002017-04-26T10:32:41.576-07:00Cool.

Nope. But, you know what? Nobody has any clue what 55-year-old Rory can be. No one knows what the limits are. It's never happened before. This is something to explore, not to plan."<br />>>> Soon to be 65 years old. Work ~50 hours per week. Deadlift ~450# @ 160. Roll BJJ for 2 hours, 4 nites per week. My wife tells me to act my age, and I tell her that I don't know how to do that, because I've never been this old before. Bottom line -- chart your own course, and don't accept any limits that aren't imposed by basic physics.<br /><br />--davidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
