I’m restarting my weight loss as I regained some weight but I’ve realized that I’ve done some big things in my life. It was all due to making a plan, setting a training program, surrounding myself with support and showing up! Everyday!

What have you done? I will add it to my mental list of big things we can do when we make a plan and follow through.

    Someone’s big thing can even be getting fit enough to walk to the end of of the road you live on! I want to read and remember these stories to add to my inspiration. .

    Cycled four 1200 km randonnees in four years on 3 continents ... plus the qualifying Super Randonneur Series qualifying rides in my mid-30s. In fact, I've done Audax/Randonneuring events of some sort every year since 2001, with the possible exception of one year. Love cycling long distances!

    Plus a decent amount of cycletouring over the years. I "retired" twice (which took a good deal of planning and preparation!) ... once to cycle around Australia for 3 month, and once with my husband to travel and cycle around the world (in many different countries) for 8 months. Now I'll probably have to work to 70 ...

    Ran my first 10K event at the age of 50. That was fun! So much so, I'm hoping to do it again.

    Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in my early 40s ... working my way through my Master's in my early 50s.
