at what moment did you realize "damn im old."?

When recruiters tell me not to put the year I graduated college on my resume to prevent age-related discrimination.

When you compare the recovery time you used to need to reset basic vital functions after a night of excess of drinks.

When my son was in middle school, and I caught myself saying the exact same thing my Father said to me (something that at the time I vowed to never say to my own children)...I needed a stiff drink immediately.

lol

When you can't run 100 meter in 14 seconds anymore.

When you can't run 100 meter in 14 seconds anymore.

That’s very frustrating.

Does he know what this means?

[SystemicAnomaly]

When you can't run 100 meter in 14 seconds anymore.

I was really bummed when I could no longer run 100 m under 10 seconds... oh, come to think of it I never could.

I was still quicker than most younger players in my early 50s. However, by my late 50s, old injuries caught up to me and 14 year old girls were routinely out-sprinting me (but I still had much quicker RT / reflexes than most).

You're only as old as your second serve. Wait... that's not how the saying goes. Damn Alzheimer I'm old

Did anyone realise that they were young at heart the last day or 2?
Think of your kids in all you do.

When wood is not the first thing you think of/see when you wake up.

About a year ago I was in a bus full of people and I stood up to give my seat to an old lady. She looked shocked and refused, and I realised she was barely, if at all, older than me...

She thought that you needed a seat more than she, eh?

Nadal may be "old" in tennis age but he's still a pretty young man in real life age; you're still considered as a 'young adult' in most cases at 34 years old.

 

[acintya]

When I after a year played Fifa with a PS4 controller and later on my thumb muscles starting to hurt me. From a ****ing little joystick turning.
THIS was yesterday.
I said what the **** man, am I really falling apart?
too much sugar crystals my muscles?
really,what the **** is happening with me.

and Nadal twirls his racquet like crazy, and all the injured people in all of the sports come back so fast. I think if I would a severe injury I would never come back.

Life from 30 on starts to suck big time.

[Mike Bulgakov]

When the music on the oldies station is stuff I listened to in my 40’s.

I had always expected to hear music like Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, and the Doors on classic rock stations. I was thrown for a loop when I was driving in L.A. years ago listening to KROQ and decided to switch to a classic rock station for some 60s and 70s rock, and heard Nirvana and the Cure. I thought I was on the wrong station, then did the math and thought "Oh, no."

When you set the rules and then when they arent working in your favor, you get mad.
Is frustration but true.

One day it just occurred to me that all the tennis stuff I'd amassed would outlast me. That was when I felt I'm old.

Last night i had a lot of good feeling about today but when i woke up it was gone.
Hmm
Am i old now?

Did that good feeling have something to do with wood (racquets or otherwise)?

I kept stock for years waiting to sell it when it hit a target price.
Sold it three months ago.
Now it hit that target market price, which is 20% higher than when I sold.
(No, this has nothing to do with feeling old, but it does with feeling angry. Anger is a common symptom of being old).
