Am I Getting Old?
![ole1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTLxPwKqwxAFM37Y5Se7FH4Ff4B4sJJEnhWvqQ8PhjEPg/ole1.jpg)

I’m going to be in the countryside for the rest of the week and I was looking forward to roaming in the woods with my camera for most of that time. I already started that yesterday but in the evening I suddenly noticed that something is wrong with my lower back. It’s not an excruciating pain or anything like that, but I can’t stand up straight. If I try to stand or walk, I need to be in a weird forward and little to the left angle, because something is pulling my back. 
 
I don’t remember hurting my back while in the woods, though I was jumping off rocks and balancing on logs to get over the swampy parts. I didn’t think I took any mis-steps but apparently I did. 

## What is this shit!?

I’ve never really had any problems with my body, no broken bones, dislocated ankle or sprained back. I’m may look fragile and tiny, but I’m very resilient. I’m kinda like an undercooked piece of meat in a stew that no matter how long you chew, it will not break down. You’ll have to discreetly spit me on a napkin and feed to the dog under the table. 

By genetic point of view, it’s more than likely that I will end up having back and hip problems at some point, so I should probably start working on getting the muscles around them stronger before it’s too late. My parents are in they fifties and they can easily beat me in every sport. They are probably disappointed that I’m letting my sporty genes go to waste and never took any sport seriously, even when I was good at them. 

I don’t exercise regularly, I just go on long walks and do the odd dance sessions and swimming or what ever random activity I get into. I really wanted to go kayaking with mom on the weekend, but let’s see how my back feels in a few days. If I tried it now, I’d end up paddling in a circle because I can’t rotate to my right side, might get boring pretty fast...

## We have some fun activities planned with the family for the Mother’s Day weekend, I wanna be in good fit for that. No carrying a two kilo camera in the woods today. Trying to write more and hopefully still get some images later in the day without roaming too far from the front porch.
