When did I get old(er)???

You know back in the day it was nothing for me to play five or six basketball games in a row and still have the energy to do other stuff afterwards. I mean I'm only 27, so how is it that after four games of basketball I barely have enough energy to get through a fifth one and really can't find any energy to do anything afterwards except shower and prop my feet up? Is this that "you're not always going to be young" thing that those older people warned me about, or is it that I'm still not back into shape like I once was? I mean I have been playing basketball three days a week and lifting another three for about three months now. I should be in shape... I think I'm in shape.

Do i face the reality of the situation and tell my self, "Aaron, you're just not as young as you used to be." No! No I say. So what if I'm getting close to 30. I'm not there yet and even if I was it's no excuse. I think the line from Lethal Weapon 4 applies here, "{I'm} not to old for this shit!!"

The mind can stay young forever, but sometimes the body just can't keep up. You are not old if you don't think your old. So the adage is true "You are only as young as you feel"
