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.

Bill, try your best to avoid surgery! Shoulder surgery itself is not bad at all.....the physical therapy afterwards is hell though. Try to go the PT/antiinflammatories/ice/heat route first!
I will do anything and everything to avoid "going under the knife" except stopping my training.
I'm just hoping that one day I can get good enough at swimming (or old enough) that I can show up at a Masters Swim Meet and swim something respectable.
