Today is your day Boomer! I think this meme applies to all of us Boomers....those that are physically active anyway. We often overdo it, meaning...we ski black diamond runs four days in a row, we play high-level pickleball twice per day, we jog 5 miles...then do it again, we like to challenge ourselves and think we could do this at a younger age. This is what one pickleballer says: "I’ve had three pickleball injuries in a year and a half,” said Jill Thomopalos, who has twice strained her calves, necessitating three-week hiatuses. She’s also strained a knee ligament. “They are all due to my own negligence. As an older person, I never valued stretching when I was younger.”(nypost.com) Personally, I play a hard-style pickleball and in the past two months, I have bruised my foot twice, pulled a muscle in my stomach, and yanked a tendon in my arm...twice. One doctor says he has seen "a number of pickleball overuse injuries like tendonitis, arthritis, muscle contusions and sprains. But he’s also noticed issues like patella, wrist or elbow fractures that require surgery." Okay Boomers, it is time to take it down a notch. Warm up properly, hit the gym and prepare your body, and, most importantly, listen to your body. It will say "I am not 25 any longer...slow down." Cheers!
