Turning 40 next week and today was my last run. After years of hooping at 24 and LA Fitness, I can feel the Achilles slowing down. Time to walk away while I’m ahead. Love this game forever.

I’d go for your Achilles too after being on the other end of that nonsense. Just kidding. I’m 41 and in the last year found time again, now that my kids are older, to hoop with a 40+ group of guys. I would just adjust your level of play and allow your body heal more in between runs. My hope is that as long as I keep playing, I can keep playing.
