AARP, you can keep your membership offer! Yes this is my year of being fifty, and to that I say, suck it! I ran my first marathon last weekend. Not just any but one to the top of Pikes Peak and back! Call it my mid-life crisis but I have spent the last few years getting in shape and planning to run this crazy race just so I could thrust my arms up in the air and laugh at fifty! It does feel good I am happy I did it, but now what? That is over, I put a ton of work into it but now I have to find something else to challenge me. I don’t want to go climb Everest or anything like that but I need to find something that will motivate me to stay in shape. If I don’t I will return to the extra seventy-five pounds because my other great motivator is food! I better find something quick with all the new recipes I see for bacon wrapped meat it won’t be a slippery slope it will be a sheer cliff!
