When you get to my age and you’re a blogger who sits at a desk for 12-14 hours a day, you just sorta accept your body is a total mess. It rarely moves. The knees start to ache from being slammed into desk legs. The shoulders are tired from being hunched over and rarely moving unless it’s to move a mouse to compose a new tweet. The gut gets out of control from the beer and liquor required to stay sane.
You accept that time to hit the gym or just walk around the neighborhood is rare. You might miss out on traffic. Pageviews. You might miss out on RTs from a scorching hot Ric Flair GIF tweeted during a live sporting event. Or a political convention.
Your feet hurt because they’re rarely used unless it’s to get to the kitchen – for more food you don’t need, but you’re running on empty and need a quick fix of leftover pizza.
Your ass will start aching from constantly sitting around in a desk chair that needs to be replaced, but you’re too cheap to spend the $200 or so for a nice new one.
And then you see ripped 20-year-old Christian McCaffrey trying on jerseys at the Pac-12 media days. And then you see that he tore through some Burger King on his way to the media days.
And you weep. You weep for your lost youth. You weep for your lost metabolism. You weep because you’re closer to death than abs. You weep because McCaffrey’s going to burn the Burger King calories just getting out of the Stanford Cadillac SUV.
Stay young, kids. Life gets so much harder, especially if you’re a blogger watching TV all day. Trust me.
