End of the Road?

Something very scary is happening in my life. I am trying my best to convince myself that this is not true, but the signs are very unquestionable. My mind is telling me one thing and my body is telling me another, and I am at a very unpleasant place, where I have to make some drastic decisions that will affect me in future.

There is something that has been part of me since I was very small, so long ago that I cannot even remember exactly when it started. I have been participating in it for long, and I got so used to it, that it has influenced a very great part of my life. In case you have not guessed it by now, I am talking about……football.

My legs ache so badly after training every day, and almost every joint has its own kind of pain. I have purposed to visit the doctor so many times and yet my citizenship in the nation of procrasti-NATION has hindered me so far. I am seriously thinking about quitting playing football and this thought is becoming more and more enticing every time I entertain it. I know that I gain weight quickly due to age and genes, but I guess I will have to find new ways of keeping the fat away as the days progress.

Oh, if only scrabble and FIFA games could keep the bulge away! Could this be, the end of the road?
