In March of 2010, I'll be turning 40 years old. As a lifelong competitive athlete, turning the page on my 30s is met with a bit of apprehension - better yet, all out resistance. I've devoted myself to becoming a stronger, better conditioned athlete in honor of my 4th decade. After 6 years off, I plan to compete on a national level - hopefully winning 4 gold medals at the National Masters Track and Field Champoinships.
