Tired...

I've been trying to get back into shape by doing more exercise and taking part in more physical activities. But I don't feel as recharged by this anymore. When I used to finish swim team practice, or even finish running 10k, I would feel alert and energized. Now, when I run, I lose my breath more quickly (after a mere block or so); when I spar in kung fu, I don't react as fast; when I paddle, my muscle strains and burns more easily. I suppose that I've simply reached the peak of my prime and now, I am only beginning to feel the slow decline. Soon, my matabolism will slow to a rate where my belly will begin to bulge into a large round ball if I don't keep up with some rigorous exercise. My muscle is sore, I want more sleep. I'm getting old (old-er at least!). I'm turning 23 in a little over a month!  ¶ 12:04 AM
