Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!!! You go girl! What a wonderful thing you are doing for yourself and your loved ones. It has and will continue to be worth all the effort and when you get to be my age you will have to get younger friends, which is a very good thing because they don't talk nearly as much about doctors, death and dying. Wow! And let's take a hike.

Yes, we absolutely need to take a hike - as soon as the f*cking weather gods turn the temperature down below 80! I'm a heat wuss.

Well done, Xan!

I’m stronger at 59 than I was at 29! I’m impressed that you can do CrossFit, that’s beyond my capabilities. I walk 5 miles most days and go to Ballet Barre class several times a week. Great for for mental health as well!

Ha! Turns out, I'm NOT doing CrossFit, I'm just doing intensive strength training and conditioning inside a CrossFit gym, using their equipment. My Coach corrected me on that :). I can't even begin to imagine walking 5 miles in the Texas heat, hell, I can't even imagine it in the Colorado heat! It has been amazing for my mental health too. I can almost bear to watch the news for 3 or 4 consecutive minutes now.
