When did you notice you were getting old?

When after two games, I'm no longer busting my a** to get up court on the fast break and when I see guys 10-15 yrs younger just busting tail up and down all game.

 

When did I notice I was getting old?

The first time I realized that what used to watch me shave now watched me tie my shoes.

 

Six days after hurting my back lifting an empty, and I'm still dealing with spasms and a great deal of discomfort.

 

When I became invisible.

Walking through the sad little Owensboro, KY mall in 1995, the high school girls who had always checked me out during my early 20s ceased to see me.

At 26, I officially became old.

 

When I was about 30 or so, I was at the gym doing sit-ups on that infernal incline thing where you can hook your feet and then decline your body. Anyway, during my third set, I hear an unmistakable fart. My internal monologue asked, "Who would do that so loudly in a public place?" Then, I realized it was my fart. Old fart, indeed

 

I don't know that I noticed it as it was happening. But I do know that it has happened.

I remember in my younger when I'd start working out I'd have so much more energy. I'd fall asleep at night and wake up refreshed in the morning ready to go. Now, I've started working out and I get no kick of energy. For sure I hate getting out of bed.

 

I love this post.

 

I'm too old to remember Not sure when I noticed but there are reminders all around.

The latest was when I had the same awestruck reaction as the DJ that the Police's "Ghost in the Machine" was released 31 years ago. You know it's been a while but that seems to bring it home more - 31 years! he screamed. Really? Really.
