Looks like fun. Glad you got in shape. I ran from age 35 - 55 until I got arthritis in my knees. I ran a 12 mile race through the woods through mud streams up and down hills it was hard but fun at 50 years old. As I got older and could no longer run regularly, I bought a Mtn Bike and have be going to the gym instead. Now at 67 and worsening arthritis, 2 repaired rotator cuff's( 4 Ti pins in each shoulder) and 18 in of my colon missing I don't like to live in my limitations and still have dreams of running one more marathon. I am still motivated by folks who lose 50 lbs or these young soldiers coming home with sever disabilities and still overcome their limitations. Good luck and let us know how you do.
Thanks for the comments!
I have now reached all 3 goals I set before myself when I started this lifestyle change, which began with the intense desire to do Tough Mudder.
First was to be 180 by June 21 when I do TM.
Second was to drop 50 pounds hopefully by mid summer or so.
Third was to get down to the weight I had been many years ago when I felt my best ever, which was at 175 pounds. I had hoped to achieve this by fall in September.
As of this morning when I climbed on the scale, I have now smoked all 3 goals. 175 pounds this morning and I still have a week and a half to go until TM.
I'm really fired up about it and I have not felt this good in years.
If I can do this, anyone can!!
