For some it's a path to weight control, for others a recaptured youth, for some a passion and others still its an obsession. I'm an all of the above.
One thing I never counted on when I began my journey as an adult athlete was how inspiring my fellow athletes would be to my experience. I train and compete with doctor's, MBA's, lawyers, accountants, stock brokers, stay at home Mom's, high school principals, heavy equipment operators, college students, actors and performers from Las Vegas shows, former special forces warriors, architect's....the list is infinitely varied and rich.
The most inspiring individuals are those who have had to overcome the most. When I'm aching and bitching about another 5am training run or swim, the man in this story pulls up in his pick-up and wrest's his chair from the back, laughing and joking calling our greetings, and I am humbled to silence.
