I am not a triathlete, and I don’t think you should be one either. It’s important to either find work where you can stand at least half the day or do some sort of extra exercise.
Get a logistics or supply chain job, use your brain and your legs.
I had a major illness in my early 40’s. That shit faked me out and sped up the aging cycle. My body is falling apart now and I’m just turning 50 this year. Enjoy it while you have it. I did and I am glad I did.
Very true, except the trigger age is different for everybody.
For me it was 42-43, I went from feeling 30ish and comfortable hanging out with people that age to feeling like the old guy in the room. And physically feeling 60…
I am 42 this year. Intellectually, I know I’m closer to 50 than to 30, but even typing that out, I dont really “believe” that.
I don’t even really have a problem turning 50, per se. I just can’t lock in the concept as a future eventuality. I am calling it in my 42nd year: I won’t see 50 coming until it’s literally here.
I definitely feel it in my head. At 28 I was still into self-improvement to try to please others, boss, family etc…
Almost 20 years later, I like where I am, who I am and what I have done. The amount of stuff I have packed into the past two decades is truly remarkable.
I always say I am going to dial it back a bit and relax this year. Then I fuck it all up and somehow do more.
I turn forty this year. For the past couple of months, I’ve noticed I get “old-man tired”. There is no period of “getting tired”. It’s just all the sudden I am tired. Nothing can be done until I sleep. I don’t sleep nearly as long at least.
Yep, I’m in better shape now in my 40s than I was when I was in my 20s. Owning a large rescue farm probably helps with that, but people think the same thing with my wife as well.
Don’t say that. I turn 34 in March as well, and I am going back to college. It certainly was a difficult experience turning 30 in the middle of COVID, feeling very isolated, my “career” fell apart because the business I helped build from the ground up was sold, but here I am making a go of it to make a better life. I’m just here to say don’t give up on yourself or your future. We only have but one life to live, and we should try to make the best of it regardless of the cards we are dealt. I believe in you!
