      Who you calling old?!

      I meant it in the best possible way. We 20 year olds wouldn't be here without you. So thank you for coming before us, we appreciate it.

      (I'm just "kidding" around)

      43 and in the best shape of my life! Ran my first 5K last year, did my first 10K in June, ran an Epic Relay in August and am currently training for my first 1/2 next June. I am loving who I have become in my 40s! :)

      I'm 37 and my goal is to be fit at 40 and I am on my way. I plan on living the second half of my life much more than I did the first half. Bring on the 40!

      I will be turning 39 next week. I am in better shape now than I was in my 20's. My husband I are trying to have a baby. I am excited about getting pregnant (even though I am high risk for my age) because I am in better shape than I was with both of my pregnancies 10 years ago!!

      My husband is about to turn 51 and I will be 48 in November.

      Truly, I feel healthier and am able to do far more now than I ever could in my 20's. I think the difference is that I have finally grown up a little and realized just how much of the BS I was soooo worried about back then really does not matter in the long run. That can all be released from my mind and I am free to take the time to enjoy that long run without freaking out because the laundry is still in the floor.

      Inspiration came in the form of an elderly couple, perhaps 80 or 85 years old. I watched them waiting on a train in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and listened while they decided what to do and where to go. They were already at the train station, on the platform, backpacks and trekking poles at the ready, looking over a map preparing to seize a beautiful day! I want us to become that couple someday!

      This fitness thing is about far more than just looking good in my jeans, although that is a pretty cool fringe benefit; it is more about being able to finally relax in my own skin and know that my body is going to hold up long enough to complete this adventure. Barring some unforeseen catastrophe, we will not become physical burdens to our own children while they are discovering themselves. Maybe someday, but not today, not now. We will not steal their 20's and 30's from them.

      Turned 40 this year and decided to get in gear! Going to lose 40 pounds in my 40th year! Eat your heart out 20 year olds - weight loss isn't for sissies at this age!

      Turning 47 in a few days, but still a kid at heart in attitude!! I used to always get told by my husband to "be more serious", but my response was that it is boring to be serious all the time. Here's to getting older and looking and feeling fabulous!

      43 and I love it! I'm in better shape than a lot of women half my age and I'm certainly in better shape than I was when I was 20 :smile: I love running a race and flying by women who I probably have 20 or so years on...I want to say that's right, you just got passed by a 43 year old honey LOL I used to be scared of hitting the dreaded 40's but I've found life only gets better!
