Heavy landing, now dead calf muscle

Longtallronnie

Took the littlun to the park today, got carried away on the swings...
Tried to see how far I could launch myself and landed a bit harder than I would have liked. 
Feels like I've got a dead calf muscle now, it's painful to touch and generally aches like a bastard. 

Getting old sucks balls.

yup.  No fun whatsoever.

Yeah I fell on my ass over a gate on the 1.3 mile walk home through the woods in the dark last night, it was pitch. Took me all day to get over my shoulder, also got a bit of cold or a bad pancreas or something, but more beer, talking and friends and not taking anything too seriously helps a lot.  Luckily gingers feel no pain and no one cares about them so it doesn't really matter either way.  Easy day today cutting a 40 year old tree down.  Coffee.  Easy money, no stress, then down the pub tonight, can't wait.  Remember that you are never as old as you are in a day's time and you never know what's coming until it hits you between the eyes.

It's not so much being 'Old' as being out of condition.  All you notice from 'Being old' is that you haven't the Stamina that you had.
