    I'm like a dead donkey.

    Was out up the Kerry mountains on Sunday and had to let the younger guys off and catch up with them on their way down later.
    Too many years of couch potato.

    I was the same at the begining of deer season...its just a matter of pushing yourself harder each time you go out and the body will adjust..
