Welcome. I am starting this with the encouragement of my nephew Will. I recently retired and have been curious about this blog business. I thought I'd give it a try and see how it goes. I'm 62 and enjoying my new found freedom with retirement. My current obsession is short (sprint) triathlons that I started in 2007. I find it fun and challenging and it is helping me to stay active, get in shape and lose weight. I enjoy working out and having to do different sports rather than just one thing. Like most things I love to learn and work at improving to see how far I can go before hitting my incompetency level. I've read a lot about the sport and training and actually hired an on-line coach this year. He sends me workouts by e-mail and gives me a plan to follow each day. I love the challenge of trying to improve and get better. Time will tell where I get, but it's the process and challenge that I enjoy.
