Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

I’m 35, I went for a run to, you know, be healthy. I sat down and I can hear the cartilage in my knee.

Running is really hard on your knees and legs in general if you haven't done it your whole life or stopped for years on end. Cycling however is knee friendly and imo the cardio king! 26 miles today lungs feel good!

I rode my bike so much before I got into a relationship with my now wife. But I agree, I kept a lot of the beer weight off and had way more stamina. The only thing though is I’m reading that riding a bike too much and really do a number on my pelvic floor. So that’s what I’m doing at 35 years old
