I am a part-time athlete

"Attached is the registration form for the NATAS Futsal Challenge on 10 July," the email from Ronald read.

I am a victim of a sneak attack by an enemy called aging.

And so, I have now become a part-time athlete, desperately trying to recycle myself to my former mint condition, desperately trying to keep my grandfather's body from taking over mine. Sports that once had been effortless fun is now painful work as I try to recapture vanishing skills and do what I once had done with such happy ease.; be as fast, as graceful and as strong as I had been.
