Truly inspiring- you look great and I’m sure feel great too - physically and emotionally
I do, it’s much better now. I used to regularly have major problems with my back that would leave me in crippling pain and that’s all gone away with how I live now. I feel better now than I did 10 years ago0 -
awesome job, in order for you to make it to World Championship you had to win your age group or top %. You came a long way from the couch and lot of hard work.
I completed my first full Ironman in September and started in the sport about 5 years ago with Sprint distance. Bragging rights to my other 53 year old friends.
Keep up the great work2 -

I’m at the “teaching myself how to run” stage because walking for exercise is becoming less of a challenge.
Would love to run a 5k one day, and you’ve definitely inspired me to think that maybe I actually can do it!!!
You can complete a 5k this year, you can run / walk it, just keep putting 1 foot in front. Next spring run the 5K. crossing the finish line is more mental. you can do it0
