not as quick as I once was

I realized today that it's not that easy to keep up with kids half your age when doing sprint training. I guess we all slow down a little as we get older. I guess that I should consider myself lucky that I can at least keep up with the slow college students :-). I've been thinking of not doing rugby practice this summer and just concentrating on fitness and strength training, and then once I'm fit, going ahead and restarting practice. After 25 years most of the basic skills are instinct reactions and won't take more than a week or two to get them back. I guess I'll sleep on this I see what I think during the next practice on Thursday.
