I recently went to Las Vegas and "felt my age" afterwards. I'm now 45 years old and find it more and more difficult to bounce back after a weekend of "good times."

I've been running more recently now that the weather is good. Unfortunately, the running has led to severe back pain! Recently, I was at the Illinois Back Institute shooting Living Healthy Chicago with Dr. Jeff. He noticed my pain every time I bent down to pick something up. I told him that running two straight days had made it difficult to STAND, let alone walk or run. Dr. Jeff gave me a couple of tips that I now use in my everyday life.

Every time I do a game on ESPN, I jug 1 or 2 cans of Red Bull a half hour before I call a game. I want to be full of energy, on the roof of the stadium, full of excitement for the call. It works and leaves me satisfied with my call, but it also costs me a night's worth of sleep. It usually takes me a full day to get rid of the Red Bull in my system which means a sleepless night.
