I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

Could be worse... She could be causing you to be called "Grandma." :help:
Besides, you're starting your taper for nationals this week, remember?
Muppet:
My teenager is a boy with a "girlfriend" who seems to have become a social butterfly... The rude one is only 12, going on 16.
If I am a "grandma" before any of my kids are a whole, whole, lot older, I will be an ogre. The word itself gives me hives. Besides, I'm way too young. I have a 6 year old too, you know!
I'm not tapering yet either. I'm still in the recovery phase. Unlike you hard training no kid youngins', I've never really had a good taper. I'm going to commence negotiations with the hubby over nationals though. I'm tempted to go to celebrate SeaGurl's birthday and meet all the cool posters. We'll see. I may need to meet my twin to give her a big hug and hold hands to swim the 50 fly with her (assuming she ages up) to the still competitive 45-49 group. So actual physical condition be damned! (No different than last year.)
:dedhorse: :banana:

Thanks for responding. It sound like good news. I'm so glad! And I'm glad she swam well despite the softball. Sounds like she's a figher like her mom! I hope all the continued news is good. Please keep us posted so I don't fret. She sound like she's doing great!!! I hope you are too! I hope you get some sleep!
