Discovering my Level of Endurance - Kuwait 2015

This was the start of my health and fitness journey in 2015 in Kuwait. I lost 32 pounds while I was there. I did a half marathon and a duathlon. I was the oldest female in the event and the only one in my 40 and over age group. I also did many 5ks and a 24 hour run, walk, ruck over New Years completing 38 miles. I was averaging 27,000 steps a day!!

This is when I built up so much confidence in myself. I discoverd that I had way more strength and endurance then I ever believed I could have. I maxed out my physical fitness test with a 318 (300 be being the highest) so I was on the extended scale. I felt amazing after all these achievements. I am 48 (turning 49 in a few weeks) and I don't let my age be an excuse anymore. That held me back for so long and I was so afraid of injury. But now that I'm so much stronger I feel like Wonder Woman!! LOL

I have fallen in love with health and fitness. What is your story?
