Kickstarting at 40

Surrounded by work and letting myself actually believe the horror story my mind has managed to conjure up - has not worked out so well for me. Figure I have a couple more decades to wear that bikini and look awesome, feel the breeze at the Greek amphitheater, become an expert at egg sandwiches, stop being afraid of failing spectacularly. I fail and then lose hope - forgetting that I need to practice to become better at it.
 So along my road to being the best version of me - I have signed up to run at Pinkathon race in Mumbai - for the 5 km. Found a partner to run along with on Saturday and Sunday
The kick start to all this - I cycled with Mumbai Riders this Saturday night - I wanted to go the entire length but I could not climb uphill and finally took a cab back. But while riding - oh - that was amazing. I wasn't shielded in a car, or hidden behind on a bike - it was just me riding along with the wind, dark sky and a few twinkling stars. AWESOME. I want that feeling and to realize that I do not have to depend on anyone else to feel that way was a moment of epiphany.
So I am going to walk for now and then run - take baby steps and enjoy the ride.
