Going in for a physical

[Grumpy]

All of you complaining about the aging process can do something about it. I'm going to turn 50 next month and I ran (not jogged, but ran) 8 miles yesterday and today lifted weights which included 54 pullups, 105 crunches pulling 100 lbs. up from behind. I can run the mile in 6 minutes 27 seconds and my goal was to do a 6 minute flat mile before 50. I don't think I'm going to be able to meet that goal. I started seriously working out at 30 because that's when i started to put on weight. I like to eat a lot (my nickname at work was the electric fork) and I did not want to eat salads for the rest of my life.
Working out 5 to 6 days a week allows me to eat well, keeps me in great shape, controls my weight and I think makes me at least 10 years younger physiologically speaking.

I don't know how to break this to you, mmm but when you're born you're allocated about 1,500,000 heart beats. U can use them up as fast or as slowly as you wish, but when they gone, so are you.

I keep going to hot sticky equatorial swamps or up big hills with these 30ish guys who want to be first on the scene of an accident, first to see everything, first to....

About 7 hours later, they're wiped and I'm still just strolling. Exercise has it's place, but I'll practice moderation, balance and pace in all things.

Well, I made an appointment today for a complete physical. I'm one of the younger folks around here, only turning 35 next month, but I'm noticing things already here and there with the body. I swear I feel like I'm 75 on the inside.

****, wait til you hit forty. :huh:

Punk kid......you ain't gotta clue. Hell at my age (67) 75 doesn't look to be all that old!

Hell, I was waiting for this one and I will defer to the old man Grumpy. Now, at 62, I feel absolutely like a kid. Except when I get out of bed....or when I try to get up off the floor. Maybe a little slow moving for the first few minutes of the day....Or when my neck decides to get that persistent "crick" in it and it seems stuck in a bent over fashion...But, who's paying any attention.

Life is good, considering the alternative.

That doctor's hands can't be too big and cold, right?

Wait a few years 'till you get the REAL checkup.

Nothin' like a good colonoscopy ta make yur day.

Pfffffffft!!!! That ain't diddley... some of us are at the doorstep of the Big-Half-Century mark...... :blink:

And some of us are looking back at that milestone. Aaaah, the good old days.

Observation: Women Drs usually have smaller hands!

The only problem with that is they still have to reach the prostate, even if they have to shove the whole hand in. :blink:
