Getting Older is.......

This past weekend I spent 5 hours each day - Sat and Sun - on a bicycle riding 80 miles to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. 5 Hours time two days.. 10 hours in the saddle... AND I AM SORE !
How the hell do they do those long days in the Tour de France.. and then climb steep ass mountains the next day. These guys are CRAZY !

But ... it is fun to take your physical self to the limit. As I wondered just what the hell I was doing .. second day after a total of 140 miles... and 20 miles to go.... I realized that not many people I know..especially the ones my age.. AND EVEN SOME of you kids.. could not ride that far .. that fast .. if you wanted to.

I suddenly felt pretty damn proud of myself.

SO EVERYONE.. find that physical test that you are going to do to see... CAN I DO IT !! 100 pushups.. run a marathon.. swim 10 miles.. WHATEVER !! Just do it so you can feel DAMN GOOD about yourself..
