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.

Yep, I've quit whining about both of these aweful shoulders and have accepted that for the rest of this season it is breastroke all the way. No need to be punished with mostly kicking workouts; last night, about 1900 yds of awesome, fast breastroke; 100's, 75's, 50's and even 25's....kick, glide, stroke, again! Not racking up much yardage for "go the distance" but hopefully enough to make my minimum goal for the year -- 100 miles of breastroke. Lookin to next year to get the shoulders back accepting freestyle as a way of swimming!
