After recently reaching the “halfway-to-40″ age of 35, I am grateful for another year of life experiences that has included:

• Gaining experience at new job
• Getting laid-off from a job
• My son’s first birthday and the journey of fatherhood
• My eight year wedding anniversary
• Completing my first trail run event (50k)
• Participating in my first Boston marathon
• Completing my first 50 mile trail race

Let us not forget the most important endurance sports highlights of this age:

• I am now in the 35-39 age group for races. Unfortunately these athletes are not any slower.
• My Boston marathon qualifying time has increased by 5 minutes. (3:15)

Turning 35 in the US also allows me to live in this house based on society and/or corporate-elite consensus. I wonder if I could put a running track or trail throughout the grounds…hmm.

Experience life! You will be glad you did.
