Feeling fit

I realised yesterday evening that I was finally back to feeling as I did before getting injured in mid November.

A feeling that's very difficult to describe but you know it when you feel it.

I remember my best friend at school telling me excitedly that at age 11 he'd started rugby training with the school team (one of them - it was a rugby mad school).

I didn't get it. "What do you mean?" I asked, "What's so great about it?"

"It's how you feel when you're really fit!" He replied.

I had no clue what he was talking about, and didn't experience it myself until my twenties when I was playing squash several times a week.

I never dreamed I would be able to feel like this at 62.

Hopefully this makes some sense, and others get the same feeling?!

Theres no feeling like it - invincible. Fit it body helps you be fit in mind and get everything in perspective. Age doesn't come into it. Happy running

Having injured myself around the same time and only now feeling back to (more or less) peak performance at 64, I completely agree !👍
