Interesting.

I asked because people have always perceived me as 10yrs younger, which has a lot of advantages.

Even now, in my 50s, people think I’m in my early 40s.

I too was insanely active, all the time. To the point where I have so many injuries from high risk sports a doctor said I’d technically qualify as disabled.

Less active now (I can’t run as I could) so I expect I’ll be putting on weight soon.

I frankly never expected to reach this age, was convinced I’d die young. Still a bit surprised by my own stamina - but having kids ages you a bit, and also keeps you active so it balances out.

Nice! I'm actually 100% Permanent & Total Disabled according to the VA. Partly because of the motorcycle accident, but also a bunch of other minor injuries and such from my time in the military. It's what's allowed me to retire so young in my life; my disability pay from the military is twice as much as my pension, plus I get free medical and dental for the rest of my life.
