I just got back from my nice long 10 block walk and you know there is something very wrong. I am walking full out, arms swaying, really pushing the envelope if you know what I mean and I look across the street and this Marine is just strolling along and passes me up and he's not even breaking a sweat. Okay so he's young right, and Im old but I think I am really pushing it here and he passes me without any effort at all.
So, but thats not the really bad thing. The weekend before last I decide that walking up to our castle is good exercise. Its about a 1500' climb up, 2.3 kilometer hike, a pretty steep hill. So I am walking up, sometimes I zigzag across the road to make the hill easier, and I have to take a couple of breaks to admire the view and catch my breath. I am dying here and suddenly 5, count them 5 Japanese folks pass me by, nod and say konichiwa and within a few seconds they are out of sight. Not one of them was under 80 years old and probably pushing 90 and they pass me like its nothing. :sarcasm :sarcasm :sarcasm
