I have been at various levels of fitness since then. There is no way I could do a century at my current level of fitness. In fact, on hot days, the hilly 6.5 miles can take it out of me. I need some inspiration from some folks who hit 50 plus and then rebuilt their fitness so I will know it is possible. What have you got?
