I play medium tier co-ed soccer, have for the last dozen years or so. I just hit 40, am slowing down and taking longer to recover from injuries. I know my time at a fun sprinting competitivish level is coming to an end but… Sure, I’ll miss the new dope friend aspext of it but equally importantly, 3 nights a week for years, I’ve been so happy to play and for a few hours a week the world, the future, politics, none of it mattered, all that mattered was stopping the bad guys from putting a ball in the wrong place and hopefully making it go to the right place (I’m defence, that half of the field is up to the other 6)
I dunno. Hoped maybe one of you has had to do this before and can share some thoughts. (I just had my foot clipped pretty bad, know I’m out for a few weeks but just came back off another injury etc…)
Trampolining and cheerleading. Injured my back so I had to stop sadly.
Last time I went on a trampoline I tore a leg muscle, so that was fun.
I live in a city that has their cycling priorities in order so I cycle places as much as possible.
Oof, sounds rough. I went trampoling with some folks just before I turned 30 and even that nearly crippled a few of us.
I’m also lucky enough to live in a great, albeit very wet, cycling city. One of the highlights of summer for me is biking around with the sun on your face.
