I used to play sports when I was younger. I also had very physical jobs that kept me in shape. Then I became a computer tech about 15 years ago, and I got really out of shape. I stopped playing sports because it just was not worth the arguments with my (almost ex) wife.

Three years ago, I developed some health issues that prevented me from doing just about anything, and for the last 2 years I have been in extreme pain. I have finally found some doctors that have a clue and I have been doing therapy for the pain, and that includes going to the gym 3 times a week.

I'm just doing a light workout on a bike for 30 minutes, then doing some of the machines to help regain my strength. It's very depressing looking at how little weight is making me work so hard and hurt so much.

But I'm going to keep going, because my goal is to play baseball as soon as my health issues clear up.
