      dyxlesia is a thing horrible

       

      Sure enough it is. But I am not dyslexic.

      I just saw "67" at the end of his name and did math. Many people who stick a number there are going with birthyear.

        I thought the same thing since I use my birth year in my name

          I don't use my birth year since it gets me some strange and unwanted attention. I don't know why everyone thinks people born in 69 are such perverts...

            Romans assume I'm much older than I actually am.

              You can have your eternal youth. There's only two things that register anymore. That's breaking into a new age category and a new pair of running shoes. Now that's something.

                Disappointed to find that this thread is not spam-bot musings.  The title had such potential.

                 

                But since I'm here: don't worry so much about what other people think and do.  Be active.  Be healthy.  Be a good person.  Stuff will fall into place.

                   I thought you saw he wrote his age 25 and read "52"....but, yeah, math.

                    I am starting to worry about that eternal youth stuff also.    Maybe I just need killer abs, I think I only have a four pack......

                      You & me both are pushing 26, right?

                        Shit I mean I run because I still can! And I'm getting to an age now where I gain weight even when I barely eat. Running is preferable to nicotine. Also gives me a high with no psychotropic substances involved.

                         

                        The irony is that my old xc teammate bros my age who used to call me a slowpoke and said I sucked at running  are all fat now lol

                        if you're tired of starting over then stop giving up!

                            25 is really old.

                            running at your age may too much.

                            you probably should stick to walking .

                              It sounds like you’re going through a premature midlife crisis?  You need to figure out what makes YOU happy and not think about “teammates” who bitched about you in the past. Move on.....you are only 25 and the world is still your oyster. Find something that you are  passionate about (whether it’s running/making music or whatever) and people will be drawn to your positive energy....and then you’ll become a chick magnet. 👍
