It's official.... I'm old

I noticed today was your birthday at 6 am this morning when I checked in, just too tired to make note of it...  And I am 5 years behind you.

Happy Birthday and many many more.

I was playing a little basketball at 65 with one of the older grandkids. he was 14 and I faked him out, went around him to shoot a layup, and twisted my left ankle went I came down. No big deal until a couple days later when my right hip felt like it was going to fall off. I hand landed on my right knee when I fell and had a labrum tear in my right hip. It still gives me problem at 70. Happy belated birthday and be careful in those basketball games.

I'm afraid to quit playing at this point.  I don't do anything else to stay in shape.  Really need to build some muscle, not for playing but because I'm going to need it.  I started working out with weights in 2007 thru 2011.  I still benefit from that strength I believe.  I know alot of it is genes for most of us but just being smart with stretching and eating right can do wonders for an aging body.  

Just got to do it.

Here's a quote for you (and all the other oldsters on here).  Keep on moving.

 

"Without question, exercise is the most powerful intervention to address muscle loss, whether it occurs in the context of advancing age or debilitating chronic or acute diseases,"

Happy Birthday Phil.

I am 10 years ahead of you and have enjoyed every one of them.

 

 

Same here.  Always enjoy your reports and videos.  Brothers and I have a condo up the lake from you.  We'll stop and introduce ourselves sometime.  Been fishing Taney since the late 60's.
