Age creeps up on you. I was pretty athletic going up in Southern California; I jogged, lifted weights, played sports and was thin as a rake. If I received any injuries from my activities they would dissipate in less the two weeks depending on the injury of course. Now, as my Italian wife would say, “forget about it.” My injuries stay for months on end and my doctor must give me pain killers and anti-inflammatory medication just to relax me enough to get a good night sleep. And I am only in my early thirties.

Every time I go for a jog I hurt from the waist down when I return, not just from my muscles being worked but my knees, ankles and feet hurt. My lower back used to hurt but I remedied the situation jogging with my upper body straight and running less on my heels. But still everything from the waist down is aching and cracking. Why do I put myself though this torture, I am not going to run in the Olympics or run a marathon? Marathon? Hey, that sounds like a plan, maybe my athletic career isn’t over yet.
