No longer a Spring Chicken!
While I've had my sports injuries (dislocated kneecap playing soccer, stress fracture a' la speedwork), I experienced a bad spot of heat exhaustion for the first time recently. When I saw my doctor (just to make sure it wasn't something else) she said, "You're no longer a Spring Chicken. You gotta take more precautions now that you're a little older." Ouch! Too bad we can't combine the experience we gain over the decades with the body we had in our teens.

You're lucky -- most of my doctors' response to sports injuries is not to participate.
