A Little Bit About Me

My name is Lorelei and I am 47 years old. I am on a quest to see if I can get in and  stay in shape during my 40’s and beyond.

Now that I finally have more free time, there are many things that I would love to do that require being fit. I don’t want to just get in shape, I want to get in great shape.

I believe with a few modifications, it is possible to get in the same shape you were in during your 20’s.  

2007 was my first year to take a serious look at how I was aging.  I determined it wasn’t that good.    So I started on this mission to see what was physically possible for a middle-aged, out of shape woman.  Getting in better shape turned out to be a lot of fun and I had experiences that I could of ever imagined. 

2008 is looking great!  I hope to share with everyone some tips to getting started and how my summer ended last year with an unbelievable 120 mile bike ride.

I hope to have lots of tips and great recipes to share with everyone.

 Here is a picture of me last summer after about 40 miles of my 3 day, 120 mile  bike ride.  I was trying to smile but all I really needed was a few aspirin.  I was really starting to feel like I was getting in great shape!
