Am I Old?

Recommended Posts

JerryK Community Regular

OK, this should burn some of my remaining posts until the magic 500 :lol:

I'll be turning 47 in June. Am I old? If I am old, how come I can still run 10 miles without breathing hard? If I'm not old, how will I know when I am? If you would have told me 20 years ago that

in my later 40s, I'd still be running, I don't know if I'd have believed it...yet here I am.

How do I know when to stop running? If/'when it hurts so bad I can no longer do it? Does it hurt

someone in their 40s..50s or beyond to run?

What do I do when I can no longer run and get that uplifting zap of endorphins?

Uh, yeah, you're old ... so am I.

My dad is 70 and had to quit playing racquetball because of his arthritis. He still is a weightlifter and passes for more than 10 years younger than he is.

You will know when you need to stop running.

I can't comment on the running issue. But, most older people that I know talk about their bathroom issues, and you have exhausted that issue!

Yeah, ya look buff and earned some bragging rights. After running, I guess you can take up knitting, I understand that's a rush.

Yeah, but how will I KNOW...is it when the AARP magazine starts coming?

Is it when I can no longer be bothered to run?

No, it's when your legs can't take it anymore...

You're only old if lose the spirit of having fun.

As for the running, I have no idea about that. :blink: Didn't know you could be too old to exercise and run. If it were me, I'd take everything at the pace that is comfortable. The body's a complex things. Go with instincts. And obviously don't do anything dangerous.

You are definitely not old, because you are younger than me, and I am not old, so therefore, how could you be old? :lol:

Okay, Jerry...Have these things started happening to you?:

You're sitting on a park bench, and a Boy Scout comes up and helps you cross your legs.

In a hostage situation, you are released first.

You're constantly talking about the price of gasoline.

You've worn black socks with sandals.

If not, you're not old yet. But I think my husband is. :)

Heck if running hurts makes u old, then i was old in jr high. I have an track injury, i pulled the liagments out of my thigh muscles and it hurts like heck from time to time. But of course i still run when i feel good lol.

I think age is just an number, my dad is 72 and he runs cirlces around me. A couiple of yrs ago my other neighbor passed away and she was 98, she was still gardening and playing with the grandkids and she cold run cirlces around my dad lol.

I refuse to grow old that is why i had 5 kids lol

OK, I've been known to wear white socks with sandals...that's not dorky enough to count right?

I don't talk about the price of gas, but I sure think about it. :)

No sir.

JerryK Community Regular
No sir.

How about this:

I hate rap music...I don't get it.

Body piercings? Whatever for? Why would a pretty girl want to make holes in her face? No need to bother talking about tongue or other piercings..or body modifications....

What's the point of wearing your jeans tightly belted below your buttocks, so you can barely walk? Am I supposed to be impressed that you can afford boxers and pull them up above your navel?

If you are going to wear a baseball cap, why wear it off to the side tilted funny?

If you come to work dressed like a hooker or a gangster, what type of impression are you trying to make on those with the power to promote you?

Yes your music is too loud! Not only does it hurt my ears, I wonder how much damage you are

doing to yours.

Text messaging? Why not just call the person?

No, I don't think jeans on girls look better--so tight that they have "muffin top" and you can see

their butt crack when they bend over.

Crap. That means I'm old too.

I'm still waiting for perms to come back. In fact, I'm getting to the point where I'm so old I kinda don't care if they come back. I'm just sick of this flat hair thing.

You are SO busted! You even made a post here about gas prices!!

Socks with sandals is only okay if you're a granola and are wearing Birkenstocks ... we used to live in a college town and Birkies with socks was okay. No other sandals were okay with socks.

hm, i say, these things don't make you old, just mature. i agree w/ you on most of this, but I say it's just the new generation trends. i don't think you're old until you feel old! you're younger than my parents, and i don't think they're old. my mom just got a boob job, found herself, and got in shape. and i think she looks younger than ever :) just take care of yourself, and keep running as long as you can ;) that's one thing i need to start doing....

CarlaB Enthusiast
you're younger than my parents, and i don't think they're old.

See, Jerry, you're old ... when married people say that you're younger than their parents, you're old! :lol::lol::lol:

Sweetfudge, you're right though, I couldn't resist! I am only a few years younger than Jerry, but I feel that I'm "less old" than I was a few years ago, if that makes sense. It's all in the attitude.

As a pretty girl with a hole in her face, I have to say the draw for me to get it was to shock people(that was five years ago) , but the draw to keep it is really that I like to see a sparkly thingy in my nose and it makes me look cute!

Well I don't want to interrupt them, texting is for less important than calling but more important than e-mail.

Get it now you old fogey?

P.S. As far as "physical age"... your younger than me. I don't run, I never did run, I risked failing gym class over the "mile run" that I walked briskly doing. My whole philosphy on running is - Sure skinny people can run, they don't have to move as much as me! If they had to lug around my ass and my boobs, they wouldn't be running either!

Jerry, Jerry....much like the situation when it became common knowledge that Vincent sports a mullet, I am calling for an immediate intervention. NEVER should socks (any colour) be paired with sandals (any kind). Even old men cannot get away with this! Maybe that's why terrorists historically let the old guys out of hijacked planes first--they are in socks and sandals, and are pitied. :rolleyes:

Indeed, indeed....but WAIT...have you heard???.....Vincent has had his MULLET CUT!!!!!!! :o

elye Community Regular

OMG....

This is news. How could I have missed such vital information?! You see, not only can I not make the time to post as much as others, I cannot find the time to simply check in and see what's new. Vincent, great stuff! (I hope Vincent does not wear socks with sandals)...

Nantzie Collaborator

Adding on to my age...

I want to know when exactly "Rocker Hair" turned into a "mullet"

All the cool guys in high school had rocker hair.

Vincent's went beyond rocker hair though. Looks nice short.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
