My last day in my 40s

Christmas run on the 606 - 50 degrees out!

Today was going to be a super-lazy, stay in pajamas kind of day - but then it hit 50 degrees and sunny, so I had to take advantage of it and get outside. M and I went to the 606 for a run. I did 3 miles without stopping, which is the most I’ve done at once in a long time. My workouts have been all OTF for 1.5 years, and I never get more than 2 miles in there. I’m feeling great that at age 49 and 364 days I can just knock out 3 miles at a decent pace (@10 minute miles). 

I’m not quite at my pre-surgery speed, but my strength and endurance is good. And I feel fully recovered and am so happy to not be dealing with cramps and mood swings and all that other crap. I wish I could’ve gotten this taken care of years ago. I also love that I don’t have to live in fear of menopause. I’ve had zero symptoms and my skin is better than every. 100% positive. 

I feel better than I did heading into my 30s. Not as good as 10 years ago. That was when I was in peak running shape, right before the injury. But considering that, I think I’m doing pretty well. I’ve found other ways to stay in shape and have been consistently active since then.
