Great job! 23 years is a long time to run without trying. See what happens when you try.

Great job! Congratulations. BTW, this is starting to get wierd. Just after I read your post on my bragging thread, I read this one and found out you're also in the avionics field. Cool. Me too. For what it's worth, your time at age 47 impresses me a lot more than my time at (almost) 40. I'll keep that in mind for the next seven years.

Thanks everyone....I really knew you all cared deep down inside Tongue

Aaron, Yeah all the best people are in avionics - although an FAA Inspector is kind of on The Dark Side from where I am Wink

Cheers, Phil

Er...those 23 years I wasn't running without trying, just not running at all....

Phil, Yeah, I became an inspector after I got tired of my friends in aviation. Wink

Nice job Aaron, keep up the great work! Don't do it. I know someone who did something like that, and within a week he'd lost his job, his left ear fell off for no reason, and his dog ran away. As a matter of fact, just reading this post pointing to the other post is probably dangerous. You should create a really big chain email and send it to every addy in your email client, just to help ward off the evil spirits.

Well- I read the other post and came to read yours- so if any of the above happens to me... well... you know... btw- fantastic job

started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
