At our age do you guys think about when to stop pushing yourself and knowing when to back off? We grew up being competitive and always challenge ourselves but then again I don't want to have a heart attack doing what we love. Anyone else knows where their limit is and try not to go pass it in fear of what could happen?
I pushed myself a lot as a teenager on a bicycle, then 40 years of work (full time that is) so now I like to take it a lot easier, after all I have nothing to prove to anyone, my retirement life is mine to enjoy at the speed I feel most comfortable
