For 53 years old I was on my best pace ever, running 20 miles/week, doing great in a 5K, getting weight down to lowest in 3 years......................then came the BS.

Tripped on a grossly negligent building violation step at a work site, slamming my left knee damaging cartilege no doubt. I am super pissed off. Had to totally shut down workout regiment for 3 weeks! Knee has barely improved over that time. With only 4 weeks to go I cannot rest it any longer so I went out and biked 20 miles today. Sounded like a nutcracker mashing a walnut every time I pedaled. I could audibly hear it cracking.

Ahole government. I was at that site 6 years ago and wrote that dangerous step, but the government was too cheap to fix it due to asbestos remediation on a pipe above it. Forgot to mention the door also features a 6'-3" height to the door jamb!..........headknocker. They won't pay to fix that either. Obviously, employees health is just not worth it. So I get to be in pain the rest of my life instead. But they do have billions available to fund welfare checks.
