Physique in the 40's

I'm 38 now.
But I must say...  between 35-38 I have dramatically declined in power.  nothing specific -- just overall power and state of my physique.. is dying.

i now realize why athletes have dramatic decline in 30's... by mid-30 you are lucky if you don't feel pain and aches regularly.  by late 30's and probably 40's, you are literally dying from a pure molecular/cellular level.   I can feel it.  I do pushups or stretch and my shoulders are always tight and sore.   I ran 5km for charity and was bit sore few 2 days later.. i did few squats other night and legs were still bit sore 2 days after...   overall its not good.

Anyways... thats life man.   I'm very happy i'm not injured and have serious problems yet.  But i can't let genetics make me lazy i am thinking to start runniny daily or cycling.. must focus on health these days not for anything except to feel better.   Will update on how that plan goes.

Also looking at buying house now....  gotta fill out damn mortgage pre-approval forms.  We shall see -- if only I could decide where to live long term then I could buy !!
