I feel very old today. No, it's not my birthday but I will be turning 30 in less than three weeks. No I am feeling old because my body is telling me that I am getting older.
Was I super sore after the workout with the trainer on Thursday? Yep. You know when you are so sore in your hamstrings, butt, calves, etc. that sitting down on a toilet hurts? Yep that was me on Friday and Saturday.
Am I super sore today after my workout yesterday with CP? Yep. We both ran about two miles on the treadmill and while he went off to shower, I continued punishing my body with lunges, squats, and other various types of torture when your body is already sore. Yes, this is great, blah blah blah. But when I groan every time I get on and off the couch like an old man? Not so sexy.
Am I going to see someone about my hearing later today? Yep. For a while now I have noticed that when in crowds or when there is background noise I have a problem hearing people. It seems like more people mumble than they used to. This is not good. So, since I have health insurance I have decided to get this potential problem checked out. Hopefully it's all in my mind....
Did I go see an eye doctor and my prescription was upped? Yep. Last week I went to my first eye doctor appointment in four years. I was running out of my contacts and noticed that I was squinting a lot, along with getting glare coming off the road when driving at night. While I am happy that my prescription only went up one power in four years, I became even "blinder." I would love to think about LASIK but not until after the wedding. I have to legally bind CP to me before I can become handicapped (JUST KIDDING).
I guess I can't complain though. Other than my weight and my stomach problems, I am a fairly healthy person. Things could always be worse.....

As you know from Facebook, I feel old, too! Growing older cannot be helped ... fighting it every step of the way can! =)
I totally feel you on the "can't hear people in crowds" thing. I've had hearing loss since I was a small child (LOTS of ear problems in my family) so I had to learn at an early age how to focus really hard on something to be able to hear it. Side effect: it's REALLY hard to get my attention when I'm focused on something (e.g. watching TV). Hopefully you don't get to that point, but I think you'll be just fine!
I get tons of glare at night when I'm driving; does that mean my prescription is wrong??
Also, the fact that you're working out until you're sore suggests you're doing totally fine, age-and-health wise.
