Jeffrey and I had an uplifting conversation, he inspired me to get back to a routine to exercise. Thanks Jeffrey. Paul
Here is the last thought from his book.
“And now, at the start of my seventh decade and after more than 13 years of endurance adventures that include successes I never thought possible, I find myself at a crossroads. I have stopped planning, beyond the World Majors. Instead, I will let my body and my desires at the time decide for me. What I know, though, is this: I want to always live a life of challenge and audacity in everything that I do. Eventually, age and presumably illness will take their toll and I will no doubt be forced to cede ground, but I will do so only reluctantly and hopefully with dignity. I will give age its due but not embrace it as an excuse to coast. Anything, or, more realistically, almost anything, is possible. Indeed, even the unlikeliest among us can become an Ironman.”
