Peter_C, My motivation level is high and unless something radical happens to change my plan I am doing it. I can take some level of pain based on previous sports injuries, I have a problematic left hip (rowing injury from my 30s) and a baddish left knee (motorcycle fall from my 20s) so I am doing strength training to make the muscles around them stronger. I'll also stock up on a lot of Aspirin and Ibuprofen, they have never failed me so far.
