Probably since I turned 40, I've been thinking of something special for my 50th birthday. I considered a significant purchase (think house, or special car), and a significant trip... but nothing felt right. Around September last year my goal for "the 50th anniversary of me" became clear. By April 2021 I will be in the best shape I've been in this century. I stopped my crazy cycling around 1999 (28 yrs old), and the turn of the century sets a good fitness benchmark to meet/surpass by the time I'm 50.
Right now I'm ~3 months in; I feel great; and have already established the habit of working out every morning. It's part of how I wake up now. Next step, I dial in my nutrition...
Here I am back in the day rockin my Mack Trucks coveralls with my Tims, on my modded Huffy Thunder Road, complete with "bread loaf" seat, and shorter forks. Ha!
