Birthday boy

Today was my 51st birthday. Last year was the quickest year of my life - woosh! The amazing thing is, I'm fitter at 51 that I've ever been in my life. And it's all due to a change in mindset. Today I was away with my wife at the Nick Nairn Cookery School making a three course meal - what an amazing experience. Doing things I never thought possible. A bit like preparing for MdS. The older I get I realise it's not physical, it's mental. If you think you can, then you'll make it happen. Tomorrow I will stretch my running but at the same time be careful as I don't want any more set backs. I've come to the conclusion, my mind is expanding the possibilities and I'm getting younger! All because I'm pushing the boundaries and loving it. Come on. Join in!

  1. Happy (belated) Birthday Derek. Your birth certificate may say 51 but we don't believe it!!! You're absolutely right - if the mind thinks it is possible the body will follow. So add another couple of bits of grey matter on your side - we reckon you'll do the MDS too! Keep up the great work!
