what a great post M. your blogs, emails and encouragement, (and hospital visit) were such an enormous help to me 5 years ago. You were the one who had done it and succeeded and we all looked up to you. So glad your success continues and you have a great job etc. And go for the Ironman. I have a good friend who did it twice in his late 40's and finished respectably. Took him several attempts to qualify but he did it. now he is on a bike trip down the entire us west coast and i may get to see him as he comes by.

You are an outstanding leader in the vsg community and we all so appreciate your support and sharing. Stay in touch. congrats on 6 and many more years. diane

When I started off on this website I looked to your posts for common sense and to your blog for inspiration - thanks so much for all your contributions!

You are an amazing example of fitness at any age. Best of luck to you on qualifying for the Boston!
