Pushing ourselves...

[HDH]

It's funny sometimes when we are on track, shit dialed in, a head and heart filled with go, then here comes that curve.

I've been sick for about 3 weeks. The first week was moderate I thought and ended up horse and hard to understand. I figured that was the worst because I've just been feeling drained throughout my work shifts and workouts + a cough that hasn't gone away.

The last few days it's been getting worse again, I took my mom out for lunch yesterday and she talked me into stopping by an urgent care (walk in) clinic. It appears I have pneumonia. My dumb ass was at the place thinking about that night's workout and how I was going to lighten up since I've been feeling bad.

We get in that mode and it's like we are machines that just keep going.

Not really a big concern with the pneumonia, I'll take my script and be fine I'm sure. I'm going on 50 now, hell, I'm no spring chicken anymore and have to stop ignoring shit and pushing through shit. I've always ignored being sick and did what I had to do.

It's difficult to get out of that mindset sometimes.

lol .... you're a full blooded male animal going on 50, and it's still Mom who talks some sense into you. I like to think that old "3 score and 10" underestimates current expectations for most of us, but some things about our timelines never change.

Listen to the doc, LISTEN to Mom, and get some chicken soup .......

Hope you feel better soon man! It’s hard to let up, I just hope I’m still pushing like you when I’m 50

Thought we were supposed to get wiser as we aged..

I'm glad she talked you into going to the walk in, you were really a 3rd wheel on our lunch date bro, take the hint next time.....

Feel better bro, some early shit going around from what I am seeing in my many offices.

Ya, I think Mom was getting even, I made he go to the eye doc before lunch

Bud, from what I've seen out of you over the years, you will be.

Thought we were supposed to get wiser as we aged..

There is a thin line between wiser and growth. We just have to push those limits sometimes

Ya, she told me to make sure you get some HCG (at least that's what I told her the problem was). I'll hold her off as best I can but she won't believe you can't get any for very long.

Maybe if you turn the lights out

I'm hoping I don't spread it all around work.

Get better man. thats a long time to be sick! but i completely agree with you, that mindset is a huge thing. I avoid going to the Dr period unless Im 1) forced 2) taken by EMS or 3) just simply know something major is going on. Your dedication to the life is what keeps you going at that age sorry, couldnt resist

No apology is necessary, it is what keeps me going. I have no intentions on shriveling up.

Best wishes in your recovery, @HDH
One of my favorite coaches used to constantly tell me that, "The difference between being good and great is knowing the difference between pain and injury." Gotta know when to throttle back, brother.

I pushed 50 once, it rolled back and almost killed me.
