Today is my birthday. It's a minor one--not a milestone. I'm still closer to fifty than to sixty. I am in the worst shape of my adult life. My weight is near an all time high (240 lbs.) and I can't run far or fast (even by my meager standards). I paddle rather than row. It is time to make changes!
I've been whining about back and hamstring issues. Then I saw this poor bastard's injury:
Catcher Chris Snyder left Monday night's game after getting hit by a foul tip in the groin area. About an hour before Tuesday's game the Diamondbacks put him on the 15-day disabled list with a left testicular fracture.
Snyder will undergo surgery on Wednesday with Melvin hoping his return is relatively soon.
"Hopefully looking at a 15-day period, where he is back after the All-Star break," Melvin said after the D-Backs 8-6 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday night.
That's right, a broken ball. You can watch it-- here.
Anyway, I'm going to break my balls to get back in shape.

There is no way in the wide world that I am going to click on that link to see a man get a ruptured testicle. The sympathy pains alone would be unbearable.
Sorry to her that your weight/fitness are not where you want them to be. Fitness is a tough road to hoe sometimes and I am just barely hanging in by my fingernails.
