I'm feeling my age - knee pain
My wife and I went on a hike with our son and his cub scout troop this morning. It was just a 3 mile hike there and back. However, it was an uphill trail called Cataract Falls in Marin County, CA. We had no idea it was rated as moderate to difficult trail with rock and wood stairs for most of the way. Climbing wasn't a big deal since I've been going to the gym. The descent is what killed my knees.
I've taken ibuprofen and I'm getting ready to ice them now. I've never had knee issues like this. Guess I'm getting old (54). I felt bad for one of the dads who's a little older than me but heavier. He struggled both there and back. He took his Advil as soon as he got back to the car.
