Getting Old

If I had one great fear, it is that of getting old. Being restricted to what I can and cannot do. I grew up running around, spending my time outdoor and being active, however I think it would be extremely hard for me if I were not able to do some of those things. Unfortunately I know that time will come but I didn't realize it would come so soon!

My first sign of old age was when I started putting weight on around my waist. That could be attributed to either old age or just my lack of daily activity that I had been accustomed to. However now, I have a hip pain though I think its more of a hip flexor problem (the muslce). I have had this before, but never for this long!

I also have knee problems now. While they are not sore yet, they are bothersome...mainly when I ride my bike but occasionally when I am running as well.

My throwing shoulder is also a bit sore. I don't recall ever having a sore shoulder in my life so I need to take care of this as I definitely need my shoulder. I need to be able to pick up Rachel and squeeze her when I see her!

Normally pain comes and goes and I'm pretty good with it, however these pains are just hanging out chillin. That's how I now I'm aging. When pain becomes expected, and I begin to notice it in my daily life...like waking up because a sore shoulder really tells me I'm getting up there and now I need to actually watch and take care of myself.

Ohh he cruel life can be!
