     London: England football team sipper David Beckham has said that age was catching up on him and he was finding it difficult to get up from his bed every morning, despite of the fact that he was only 30. "I find it harder to get up in the morning. It could be because I'm getting older, or it could be because I've got three sons," The Sun quoted Beckham as saying. "For a woman, I think 30 is one of the best ages - for a man, they say it's all downhill from there. You start putting on weight and getting lumps and bumps in places you didn't have them when you were 20. You start getting a few aches and pains," he said. While admitting that he had started watching his weight, he said, nevertheless, he was enjoying his 30s. "But you know, I'm quite enjoying 30. Every day is an experience for me. Something different always happens in my life," he added.
