I have a slightly different problem. My Ego will not let me train like the 60+ that I am. My Ego still thinks it can lift the wieights that I did in 1985. I just wish My Ego would suffer the consequences and not this ruined shell of a body that I am carting around.

The joys of getting old. I'm pretty good at getting 10K steps in a day. And if i don't, i feel a bit antsy. If i have an extended break for sickness or whatever i find it hard to get back into it, like trying to walk around Mt Panorama on a weekend. More stops to gain breath, longer to recover once you reach the top, cursing the backpack full of camera equipment etc.

It's weird. I was out of action all day with the brain pains and had some fever dream thing about taking out a security guard; the fluid movements, the speed, the impact. The kind of shit my body could do in the blink of an eye back about 30 years ago. I know the right spots, moves, reactions, but those days are long behind me, and my best reaction in a situation involving violence would be to find a strong door to hide behind.

That said, my brain also still has dreams where I'm in primary school, so what the fuck does it even do in there?
