An old man trapped in a young man’s body

I’m old. That’s it. That’s the post. Good night! (kidding). But seriously, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’m getting older and it’s been really difficult!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my story on Friday night. It was of a pick – up game of basketball at the gym. I confess, I didn’t lift any weights, but playing a few pick – up games was a work out in itself. 

Although I was having so much fun because I haven’t played basketball in years, I realized I am an old man trapped in a young man’s body (physically. And sometimes mentally. But for the sake of this post we will just focus on the physically part!). By the second game my knees were killing me, my ankles were almost twisted multiple times, and I was so out of breath. I haven’t sweat like that in years.

When I finally got home I took a shower, put Oliver to sleep and passed out. I slept like a baby (no offense Oliver). Saturday morning is when I really felt it. My knees hurt all day. I ended up ordering an ankle brace for next time and I am very much considering buying a knee brace…or two. I’m only 29! This is ridiculous! Lol. 

Although I feel really old, it was so much fun and I can’t wait to go and play again. I hope you all have a great day!
