Working out, middle age and physical jobs

[Mike Islander]

I never had any issues at all with working out (or working hard) and recovery.......until this year. I'll be 61 next month. I kind of laugh at some of the ages you guys are posting in here......youngsters in your prime, LOL.

I built over 400 feet of privacy fence in the last month. Dug every post hole by hand, and mixed ~8000lbs of concrete in the wheelbarrow overall. My body is just not recovering like it should be. Has me questioning what elk season is going to look like this year. Muscle-wise I feel fine, just overall feel like crap. Wake up every day feeling like I have the flu or got hit by a truck. Still have about 200 feet to build. If there's a miracle drug out there......I want it.

You are probably a very good candidate for the magic T.

Every time I have them test it, they tell me it's already higher than normal for my age range. Check thyroid and all those things.......normal. I think I might just have higher expectations than most 60 year olds. Attitude, personality, and emotionally........I'm still in my early 20's.
