40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

My daughter and I enjoyed the last Beach Race of the series yesterday evening. The series is run by a local running club and is very well organized. The course was pretty challenging for me.
The sand and hot sun really drained me the first time. I think I ran that first one in June in 32:08, which happened to be good enough for a 3rd AG.
I ran the second one in July. The course was even hotter and pretty torn up from storms and tourists. We all spent a lot of time and energy jockeying for flat ground. I’m pretty sure everyone’s times were slow, especially since I landed 1st AG with a 31:56.
Last night started great. Overcast skies. A great breeze off of the water. And then you hit the turn-around. My goodness, that wind at your back isn’t very cooling, is it?! Right around mile 2, I wanted nothing more than to dive into the Gulf! But I made it to the finish line where water and wet towels awaited. My 31:16 was good enough for 2nd AG.
These were some pretty challenging races for me. Even though my times aren’t very impressive, I’m thrilled that I improved with each race. Now it’s time to start adding miles in preparation for my first half in November.
Oh, and I finally finished and hung my new race bling holder! No more piles of tangled medals on the vanity. Yay!

Quit the gym today for home and outdoor workouts, only went a hand full of times since I joined, so I've been wasting money the last year thinking I would get more into it, but the only thing there I used was the treadmill then I'd leave.I have a spin bike, weights, rope, bands, DVDs, stepper at home I think I'm covered and I love the outdoors walking . This is my plan for dropping the pounds, so many wonderful examples here of success and sticking to it hope it runs off on me. Goodnight all ☺2

hi. I'm 45 and struggling to lose all the extra weight. I've picked up about 8kgs this year, mostly due to not eating and exercising enough. looking forward to the journey ahead.3

Ran 3 fast miles, followed by some lifting. Hubs joined me at the gym, which is rare, so that was nice.2

This thread is so fun! Seeing all these activities people are doing and goals people have is inspiring.0

Backed off the high mileage this weekend and changed things up with a race simulation effort. It was a beautiful morning, sunny with low humidity. Four of us started with an open water swim, then rode a 2 hour bike course, finishing with an hour run. Felt pretty good to push the pace. Rest day tomorrow.

@yweight1969 You sound like you have a very good plan. I love working out at home. No waiting for equipment and no worrying about what you're wearing. Enjoy the journey!1
