Defying the odds in your 40's

I have recently done something I have never thought in my wildest dreams I could do.

I finished a one-hour “Dry” triathlon at my local gym. This consisted of a 2,000M row, 300 body weight repetitions, and a 5K run.

It’s mind-blowing that I, the overweight, out-of-shape, middle-aged, book nerd, suburban mom of three, could do that.

It was not a fluke, per se. I did train for it. I went to the gym at least three times a week and took the training seriously.
