vi·cis·si·tude | vəˈsisəˌto͞od |

 There was a time I could run a mile in under 10 minutes wearing combat boots.

Now, after a couple of weeks careful metering by an activity tracker, I discover it takes me half an hour just to walk that far. And even that's a wee cheat.

Given that some number of guys my age are already dead, I'll take what I can get.

And, really, it's not all that bad to lead a slower life, once you get the hang of it.
