Up and Coming

Posted on 12:00 AM by Unknown


This Labor Day weekend was my birthday! Yea, me, right?


I don't know if birthdays are as sweet as they once were. You get to a point where you don't want to see your age increasing. What I will say is that I do feel better this birthday than I have for many of my past ones because of some physical challenges I put myself through over the last several months. Things like running a 5K, a 10K and a mud obstacles course.



And some thought I hadn't truly run the course because I wasn't muddy enough in the pictures I posted so I have included a few more as "proof" of my endeavor.

What do you do, regardless of age, to keep your life interesting? I had just seen a man over 60 attempt American Ninja Warrior. He didn't get very far but he trained and tried.

What dream do you have that you need to take that first step toward. I think this man proves age does not have to be a limitation.

For you this week:

Tuesday: Evaluation of a police scenario.

Thursday: How would a medical person lose their license?

Hope you guys have a fabulous week and hope you enjoyed our Labor Day Weekend!

Jordyn
