Toby Keith sings a song called "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."

It wouldn't surprise me if that applies to him. It does not currently apply to me. I definitely need some work. I realized tonight playing basketball that conditioning is needed to get back to a level of competition that is impressive. I used to jog a few times a week to supplement game time. Back then I could play a full hour without running out of steam. Now, not so much.
