Why? I got some exercise today. I'm sure some of you can relate to this. Had to walk about a mile. My feet are killing me. That's quite an accomplishment for a couch potato like me.

Ben there done that. I know, and sympathies with you.
I have to ware compression socks, because my feet swell up most of the time. They really do a good job of reducing the swelling. Also I sleep with my feet elevated at night. Helps a great deal. I cant walk a full mile, but each day I do walk some.
But its still a wonderful life. Oh to be young again.
Have a great day Mr. B

I would. But I have some pretty bad arthritis in my thumb. You know those old style light switches that had some pretty stiff resistance. It's like that when I try to use it. I'm falling apart.

I'll try. BTW, youth is wasted on the young. I'm guessing you knew that already.

You think you've got it bad? I prolly walk about 6-8 miles a day between work, puppy duty, and horse duty.
Well, yesterday, I bent over to pick up the water hose, and something snapped, pulled, or broke in my lower back. Now I'm plumb crippled!
It was a water hose for crying out loud! The water wasn't even on to add more weight!
On the up side.....my wife wants me to soak in the big bathtub with Epsom salts, and then rub some kind of junk on me.

I'm only 52, but I feel a lot older sometimes. I'm not looking forward to my golden years.

I'm telling you dude, get up, and move! I spent the last 15 or so years driving. Staring through a piece of glass. I was so out of shape that I didn't think I would make it in my current job. It sucked for a while, but I stuck with it, and now it's gravy.
I'm 53, and trying to get in better shape only to have an empty water hose kick my ass!
I'm up, and moving, and if the wind lays down a bit, my wife and I will sit by a fire, and solve all the world's problems. Or, just enjoy our own company. Either way, it's a win!
Sometimes you just gotta sucked it up, and roll with it.

A few shots of 151 helps a lot. Makes the pain disappear for a few hours.

Jeez, the way you were talking, I thought you were in your 70s. I'm fifty, today I must hike through the woods in search of materials for my work, like most days. My father who is 76 built a new house for himself this summer, did alot of the work himself, glad I have his genes.
Good Polish peasant stock.
