Dood....you're 29! Not that age is an issue, but I can only imagine the Shee-ot I'd have tried in my 20's or even early 30's.........(I started at 37)
I guess my point is, keeping in mind what Joe said....... just go for what you feel comfortable with! You could get hurt doing "anything" on a daily basis. The only reason I say this is because I've done exactly what you've said..........hold back, or wait till the end of a season to try something new, just to avoid the "possibility" of getting injured........... especially if you've had a significant injury prior to! (yes it would blow to be out all season, and you may feel regret......but the way I see it is, I only have so much time left, that I've decided to not hold back, and push forward while I can) But again, if we don't focus on what Joe said, we might possibly get what we asked for by trying sheet we're not ready for........
Sorry, I'm crafting the perfect buzz.....and may have had a moment....?
