Back hurts, neck hurts,shoulder is just useless, left leg doesn't want to move and right lerg won't move where I want it to. I'm much too young to feel this dang old. Wonder how I got this way. Could it be 25 years of this?
Wow!! I'd say that is a big contributor to your soreness. At 35 I feel terrible in the mornings from countless ATV mishaps, lacrosse, and of course a lifetime of amateur boxing. Painful hobbies. I can just imagine the shock that the human body must go through riding like that. Whiplash, sudden twisting and direction change, jolting joints. OK no more I'm getting sore just thinking of all that.
Know the feeling well, Scribe. Sometimes you just want to find a hole to crawl into. Bad days suck, good days you get through, period. Wonder how the horse made out?
