"only" 34 - I run every day..well like 6 times a week and pains never stops.🙁 If it is'nt my heal, it's my shin spints, if it is'nt shin splints it's my arches or planter, then my knees - the pain seems to rotate thoughout all my body parts. I sure miss 25 where could drink all night fall off a two story building and still wake up with three hours sleep and not feel a thing.
 
I've never been able to run...completely flat feet from birth. 🙁

I can backpack/hike like nobody's business though. 🙂
 
I do that too but it really does'nt get heart rate monitor going at speeds of people I'm with. Speaking of arches mine are huge which is part of my problem not very good for running overpronating like that.

You mean heel, right 😉
 
40 is fine. Old enough to appreciate what you have, but young enough to still enjoy it. Though I've slowed down, I'm still having fun.

I tried running Cross Country in HS and it nearly killed me. I could barely walk, hobbling around in pain...that was with proper shoes that were suggested by a podiatrist. 🙁

I'm thinking about getting into mountain biking. I have a couple friends here in town that do it.
 
*** Paging Brustuskend****** 🙂

I am not 40 <only in my early 30s> but I am more calm and more rational than I ever was.
 
Not 40 yet but since I hit my 30s I've totally slowed down. I used to have a 36" vert and able to jump like a jack rabbit. Every year now, it seems like I lose 2-3" off my vert and I can only jump one time.

Wow - makes me want to take up running. 😉

I will be 40 in April.. I'm looking forward to it for many reasons.

Not sure how good 40 will be, but 39 was an improvement!

That's the thing. I wish I had the knowledge I have now (salary wouldn't hurt either) when I was younger. I coulda been a playa.
 
Whats 40 like?

Its encouraging that you made it.
Its discouraging that you made it.

You are still only half as smart as you think you are.
People younger than you are barely half as smart as you think they are.

You can still stay out late and throw on a good drunk.
It takes 4 times as long to recover.

You are making mad cash.
Your cost of living is astronomical.

20 year old girls are still hot as hell.
20 year old girls dont give you a second look.

You are wise enough to buy a minivan.
You were stupid enought to buy a minivan.

Your dick still works.
Your hot wife is now a Mom and nailing her just isnt the same.

You can still bust out a day full of physical labor.
It takes you a 6 pack and a full week to recover.

All your favorite music is now "classic rock"
You cant name 4 current bands.

Those "punk ass kids" are no different than you were.
You use the term "punk ass kids" all the time.

AM radio becomes very appealing.
FM radio doesnt have enough "classic rock."

Your chances of a street fight are almost nil.
There are still plenty of people that need an ass-kicking.

Jeans just really dont fit your shape
You cant even imagine wearing jeans even if they did fit.

You have had the new car 2 years and nobody has gotten laid in it.
The only person who gets naked in your backseat is your kids getting a diaper changed.

10PM on Saturday night is now damn late.
You can flip right past naked titties on Cinemax trying to flip over to Sportscenter.

In the morning, your joints make more noise than your alarm.
You dont even need an alarm to wake up early.
