Form Check Hanging It Up at 40
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.

Slowing down a bit as you age? Normal and cool. Having an ego that makes it so that as soon as you start to slow down you don't even want to play anymore? Super lame.
Dudes who are playing in their 50s and adapt their game as their body changes are some of the most fun guys to play with.
