When I turned 37, I was 300+ lbs, I had recently quit smoking and was exhausted all the time. I was dealing with sleep apnea that was being treated by a CPAP machine, managing anxiety with medications and was on the verge of needing blood pressure meds.
In the past 2 years, I've obviously lost a lot of weight and gotten in much better shape. I've completed 2 half marathons (improving my time on the second by almost 30 minutes), Ran a 10k, ran a tough 10 miler in an awesome pace, raced my first 5k (and placed 2nd for my age group), traced the Chase Corporate Challenge (where I've walked or walk/run in the past) and most recently completed my first Sprint Triathlon. Most of these things weren't even things I could imagine saying that I've accomplished at 37.
At 39, I'm probably in the best overall health I've been at in my life! How many people get to say that at 29, let alone 39! Well this guy can and if I can, anyone can do it! Believe in yourself and amazing things can happen! Bring on the new adventures at 39, including 2 marathons! Can't wait for this year will bring!
