Age...

It is becoming increasingly apparent that age is creeping up on me! In a way it is great, as I feel sure of myself and more confident, but in other ways some things are much harder; exercise for one!

God damn, I started an upper body and abs routine earlier this week - felt like I had never done a sit up before, honestly...where did my fitness go...I mean I ran a marathon not so long ago and granted I have not been training much since then, but I have been spinning twice a week, playing tennis and doing the odd 10K...but doing sit ups killed me.

I think as a snapper I used to be very fit and do a lot of exercise, training everyday...I relished anything physical and always excelled. Mentally, I am the same person, but my body tells me otherwise. It is incredible that you presume you can do things just as easily as you used to...not saying I am past it, but I have to work so much harder. On the contrary, my confidence with work, words, people has multiplied ten fold and handling life is a breeze compared to when I was younger.

So, whilst the mind grows the body deteriorates - how unfair is that, totally frustrating! Then again, if it worked in reverse, you would have an awesome body but no clue as to what to do with it! Either way, I guess you must accept what you are given and make the most of it. I have come to realise that even the body beautiful have issues, so I must now learn to love all of myself, even the little or no so little white bits!
