Hmmmm it's a funny thing age isn't it. At the tender age of 35 I never really gave getting older lot of thought but recently I have noticed something quite strange.

Since I could walk I have been totally un-able to walk upstairs like a normal human being. I have always run or jumped at least 2 stairs at a time and never batted an eyelid.

Recently I fear the co-ordination may be flagging....... I've lost the knack completely. I now get half way up and suffer a panic attack not knowing what to do with the next foot on it's way up.

It's nightmare, I now regularly grind to a halt half way up the stairs and have to start all over again.

Is this the shape of things to come I fear. Oh Joy !!!!!

I always attack any stairs in that manner, run up, run down at home, out, round someone elses house.

Im 23 though, is this something i should be aware of come 35

StickyMicky

apart from being either pissed, stoned or whatever and completely unable to move my legs properly, ill run. In fact ive just been to the bathroom and ran up just a minute ago. Never thought about it, its weird it just happens

Weird eh when you stop and think about it....... It's not until I found my running up stairs ability was going to rat **** that I realise I ran up-stairs so much......

I'm sure there's a fancy medical name for it somewhere

I think that i must do it because it gets me to the top quicker for a quick exertion of effort rather than a slow trudge which pisses me off and makes me feel more exerted once at the top. and takes longer

I don't think i have ever used every step on a flight of stairs unless carrying something heavy and i always run up them whenever possible, don't know why just always have. I'm only 27 but must admit that a few times lately i have stopped halfway up to wonder what foot goes where!

The problem is thinking about it. As soon as you stop to think about it, it all goes Pete Tong.

OK, here's a test for you: shut your eyes and stand on one leg. Now how long can you stand like that before you have to either open your eyes or put the other leg down? At twenty I believe it's about two minutes, but by forty you'll struggle to do one minute.
