You know what the irony of that statement is? Sure enough Yodasluke will be the one in his group that develops age related physical problem.. arthritis something ... he will be striken. He acts all high and mighty now, while he's barely into middle age but you watch... when life dishes out some of its lessons to him (and its surely will with such a self-righteous attitude... karma) he'll be screaming excuses at the top of his lungs to some young know-it-all punk telling him to get to the gym and quit making excuses .
Anyway Jeff, you're doing fine given your age and late taking up of the sport. Congrats..
I am not the High and Mighty, but I did speak to Him today. He said to tell you that His name is not "karma".
