I am turning 37 in a few months, and I get it… I have been rough on my body. Spent years backpacking for days on end, weekend after weekend. Spent my youth wrestling in school and playing hockey. I have spent a decade wrestling dogs on concrete in veterinary medicine.
But Jesus Christ. I sneeze and throw my back out. My rotator cuff pops when I ambulate my arm. There is a crackle to my jaw while chewing at times. All of it with a slight pain or discomfort.
The dull ache of simply sitting up from my bed in the morning.
I look forward to what I call “Floor Thirty” where I just get to lay on a hard ass floor and do a bit of deep breathing so I can feel young for just a few minutes.
You all lying when you say you feel great, right? What you mean is you can make it through the day just fine. Right?
