A year ago I was so overweight and out of shape and today I just finished my first triathlon. Now granted, it was an indoor one but it was a great warmup for my first real Sprint Triathlon in 3 weeks. AND I finished 5th overall women's. And I am 50!! Not bad for an old broad, eh?

    You have every right to be proud! I'm damn proud of you! And you are not OLD!!! You are only as old as you feel, and by doing what you did today, you must feel a lot younger!

    Exactly! I'm 55. I don't think I'll ever be doing a tri, but I ride my exercise bike 50 minutes a day, and it makes me feel so much better.

    Congrats on taking control of your health. That's my reason for getting healthy. I figure if I'm going to be around a while, I want to be as healthy and mobile as possible.

    LOL both of you :) Yeah we are bad *kitten*, right?

    YUP getting healthy is what first propelled me on this journey. 5 blood pressure down to 2 and probably off them completely soon. Now I am doing this stuff to see what I am capable of :O)
