ACk, the bombs of truth from Rafe and Mike are making me feel very inadequate. I used to coach -- and before that, participate in -- rowing and now I work a desk job at a university and come home to play WoW. The job change has made buying a house possible, but severely effected my health and fitness and it is all my fault.

Guilty flab monster is guilty.

@quasar: You're far from alone in that. I played soccer for years as a kid/teen (and was even a FIFA-certified referee for a couple of summers, though I stuck to officiating under-10 games), but I've been a desk jockey for the last fifteen.

We remember how awesome we *used to be* and see how much we've backpedaled, and it can be disheartening... or it can be inspiring and motivating. "Hey, I used to be able to do a five minute mile. I should be able to do a six minute one even though I'm older!"
