Now at 55 I feel like I am in the best shape of my life both physically and mentally. There are 4 things that I prioritize in my life:
No - 1 Regular strength training
No - 2 Riding my bike which is both a hobby, pleasure and exercise at the same time
No - 3 Following a good diet
No - 4 Having a daily challenge of some sort. Lucky for me I have a job that's physically challenging and keeps me sharp and focused.
I woke up on the morning of my 50th and thought, *Likely have been alive longer than have left to live so START REALLY LIVING
and before I die I will be told "you have cancer."
NOT dead yet but have cancer and treatment is kicking the crapola out of me making bicycling more of a chore than a pleasurable ride. Will keep spinning cranks as long as possible and then *check out*
Did manage 75.75 miles for my 75th B-day in July.
