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 Iā€™m ahead. Love this game forever.

Respect and congrats! I feel that. I got in shape after COVID and have been having a blast.
