    I could do 3x8 at 495 on squats (raw) at 5'10" 210 when I was 25.

    Not world class level, but competitive at a local power lifting meet anyway.

    When I was a state trooper, and was probably around 30 years old, I stopped a vehicle and a guy jumped out and ran on foot. He was a thin, young teenage gang banger and in great shape. I chased him 4 miles before I caught him on foot....pushed him down, handcuffed him...got him up and made him run the 4 miles back to the car with me. He had to stop to throw up 3x on the trip back. MY.BEST.DAY.EVER. on that job!

    I ran my first ever 5k 10 months, to the day, after having a stroke. I was a quadriplegic for over a week, but fully recovered.

    Pennsylvania Tough Mudder on 4/29/12 and LI Half Marathon on 5/6/12....wasn't in the best shape for the Tough Mudder, but it was a fabulous experience. At the start of the half marathon, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I did and beat my previous half marathon time by 13 minutes.....:bigsmile:

    After my grandfather beat testicular cancer, he road his bike across the entire US at the age of 78. He died kayaking at 90, what a way to go.

    Other than losing 50lbs over the last year or so, I don't really have any yet. However, my long standing dream is to be able to thruhike the Appalachian Trail before I turn 40. Don't know that I'll be able to swing it financially, though.

    Last summer I completed "The Serious Series" in Michigan. No racing experience prior. 2 half marathons (May and August) and a 10k (June). I wasn't last in any, and was 15th in the 10k. I got an awesome giant beer mug for completing the series.

    For me personally I did my first Warrior Dash at 280 pounds. It wasn't a stellar time, but I frakkin' did it!

    My bestie (rhondalynn3) did the Susan G Komen walk last year, and is doing again this year. That's 60+ miles in 3 days. This amazes me.

    U.S. Army Combat divers course.
    Easily the absolute toughest course I have ever taken.
    Granted, I was 25 years old at the time and in wonderful shape.
    Now I would probably get winded walking to the boathouse.

    Oh! Definitely climbing up and down the Gros Piton in St. Lucia in under 4 hours (it's over 2600 feet high). That was the most amazing thing I have ever done to date.
