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.

1. Clicking right shoulder
2. No swimming mates (very slow seniors and too damn fast kids)
3. Very weak kicks
4. Two hours of driving plus 10 hours of work
5. Morning workouts: I can't live without coffee, I can't sleep before midnight, I have to wake up at 5:30 to complete my workout, but I can't sprint in the morning if I sleep less than 7 hours (I shall buy a baseball bat for my wife to hit my head at 22:30)
6. Night workouts: I can't come to pool before 8PM after work (waterpolo team in the pool) cannot swim at the back of the pool (20 meters)
7. Week-end workouts: I shall go to my parents or I shall join a birthday party, or I have to work, or we have guests to welcome, or my wife wants me to do something, or I have a back pain like today
Now I realize why I love swimming (we're Romeo and Juliet). It is obvious why I am excited when I go to the pool. Tomorrow it's Sunday. ÇA IRA (Still got the hope)
