Well, this is now the third time, and a pattern has been recognized.
I think my mind is now officially younger than my body. What do I mean by this? Well let me explain:
Last Fall, I was visiting my family in Saudi Arabia when my cousin, who was so excited to see me, decided to give me a bear hug – lifting me off my feet. At that moment, I felt my rib crack, and I screamed with pain. That was the first of three, and the pain lasted at least a month.
A few months later, I was out playing squash with a friend. I decided to extend my body to hit this low traveling, almost bounceless shot – typical of most squash shots – and that’s when the second painful and youthless moment presented itself. The pain lasted about 3 weeks.
Lastly, I was out rock climbing with another friend. It was my second climb after 4 years of dormancy. I had always been guilty of using my arms to pull myself up rather than using my legs to push. I reached up high for one of the hand-holds, and pulled myself up like I always did. And that’s when the third, painful, pattern discovering moment made itself clear.
I suppose I should have realized this when my Wii told me that my Wii Fit age was 31.
