I'm teaching the Basic Rider Course this weekend. I spent all day yesterday walking on the range. I'm wearing good boots, and I'm doing what I've done for years. Still, last night my lower back and legs were screaming at me. I figured I'd rub them down with our version of IcyHot and go to bed. Woke up this morning, and I could barely bend over to pet the dog.
Maybe I'll do a bit more sitting today, rather that nine hours straight of standing and walking on pavement.
I hate this getting old shit.

I am not in the shape you are. I have been working in the yard pulling weeds and cutting brush and my back is killing me. I mean stove-up kind of hurt. The getting old part does not help but, bending over to pluck weeds obviously is not what my back wants to do.
I truly feel bad for those who plant their butts in the chair and don't do anything. They will pay a dear price for it. You gotta keep active and between yard work, remodeling (that will never be done) and aquarobics I am doing pretty well.
I thank God for my health and I wish for you the same.
A body in motion stays in motion. At least, that's what I tell myself when I try to get up out of my chair.
