It's sad how the elderly can hike circles around me while I struggle

Pretty sure i have asthma or crappy lungs. I'm scrawny but somehow out of shape. It's wild how these cotton tops with walking sticks are breezing by me like la di da

I've experienced this before.
I once joined a walking group.
There were old ladies, few in 70s, 60s, 50s.
ALL of them out walked me.
A few did slow down so I could keep up.

Embarrassing lol

However, since then, I completed a 5k without stopping for a break...only to gather myself from nearly twisting my ankle and losing my balance so bad that I was nearly on the ground.
My leg was super sore for about a week afterwards

@iamnikki I'm glad im not alone in my shame. There's 3 of us in my friend group. Im 49, one friend is 46 and my other friend is 51. They did great and i felt bad slowing them down

Humbling experience, I am sure. Now, time to learn from the Wise and condition yourself slowly.
