Two Birthday Revelations and A Question

My birthday was in April.  This one felt like a really big one.  I struggled with the reality I would no longer be in my 40's.  OUCH!  It hurt my feelings to be THAT age.  My pain management of choice was fitness.  Some work out goals were set.  Most were accomplished.  Here are some pix.  Then I'll tell you about my birthday revelations and ask you a question.
 
 
If you ever get the chance to participate in a Warrior Dash, DO IT!!

 
My buddy, Amy, and I joined a team from my gym.  Like our shirts say, we really did run, climb, crawl, slide AND

 
jump over fire!  How amazing is that?!  We jumped over fire!
 
 
I recently tried some new classes.  Aerial Yoga


and

 
Lyra.


I LOVE both!  The instructor is sweet and let me take my camera to class.
 

 
My crazy co-workers decided it would be cool to sign up for a Glow Run.  It's a 5k in the dark!  The race began at 8:00 pm and everyone wore glow sticks.  After the race, we all had tacos!  What's not to love?  ;-)
 
 
No birthday is complete until a new hiking trail is explored with my Handsome Husband!  ;-)  A sweet passerby snapped this shot for us.  We are a bit out of focus, but the waterfall looks gorgeous!
 
All this activity led to my Two Birthday Revelations.
 
1.  No matter what age I am, I will live my life as fully as I know how!
 
2.  There's just no telling what I might do when I turn 60!  ;-)

 A Question for You
 
Switching gears a bit...  Would any of you be interested in a series of blog posts about my fitness routines and nutrition plans?  I don't consider myself an expert, but could certainly speak to what has (and hasn't) worked for me.  Will you please let me know your thoughts?

  1. I would certainly be interested in posts about health and fitness. I am on a bit of a health kick right now :) All those activities sound like lots of fun. I am set for a couple of 5k events in July, so need to do some training xx

  3. I am turning 30 tomorrow...coming up to this "milestone" birthday i have been reflecting on many things and having to step back and be like "wow, I am 30 now". It is strange because I do not feel like an adult who is 30...I think I can kind of understand how you felt.
    The arial yoga looks pretty cool! I've done a little bit of yoga/pilates and would like to start doing it more regularly.

  4. How cool! It's so awesome to see you trying all these new experiences. I try to live this way as well, and I hope to continue it throughout my life. This year I just signed up for the Foam Fest 5k obstacle race, and I can't wait. PS - You look way younger your age!

  6. This is a great reminder for those of us who have passed the big 50 mark but haven't met the next decade yet. We are never to old and we have to keep challenging ourselves.
    The photo of you and your husband is great - it's in focus enough.
