As I get older, I've started to take less physical risks, stepped down where I might have once jumped, swam out less far, carried less weight, but when it comes to the crunch, can my body still take the same physical loads it once did?

Today while I was up on the roof cleaning the chimney I disturbed a wasps nest and was getting roundly stung - faced with two options, stay or jump.. I jumped - I had already considered the option before it happened and had the escape route in mind, but when needed, my body performed well, the landing was smooth and I learned to trust myself a bit more.

The stings sting, but the overall experience was positive.
