It happens no matter what your age, but happens more when you get older.

It's classic.  Your brain is 20 but your body isn't.  You want the buzz of the workout, you want to feel strong, you want to work off that big dinner you had last night. Brain: Go,go, go.  Back: No, no, no!  I read an article about orthopedists around the world who are making a mint on our generation of over achievers who refuse to grow old. We all think we still have it. We all think we can do what we used to do. We crave the adrenalin. We create routines and habits. But our bones and muscles and tendons and everything in between is OLDER. Stress fractures cause stress! What are we supposed to do about it?

I'll tell you one thing, I ain't going down without a fight, or at least a lot of ibuprofen. I say stick it to the aging bones and keep going! Its a big Mypheme finger to my aching back!
