I was an athlete, though not the competitive kind. I could do diving somersaults from a slow jog on concrete without significant injury. I could something like 18 mph on rough ground. Run flat out 9,000 feet above sea level. I was extraordinary in ways I no longer am.

Though to be fair, the gymnastics in the martial arts and so on did give me really good balance, which is very nice when you're tall with POTS & on blood thinners. I remember tossing 10 lb medicine balls back and forth in mixed martial arts class, discus throw style. Imagine a grippy bowling ball.
