I did it.....The OLD MAN did it!!!
St. Kitts, climbed a Volcano, over 3000 feet through a Tropic Rain forest.
I am 63 years old, the next age was a couple who were 42...after that everyone was in their 20's and 30's.
We broke up in 3 groups of 12...if you were falling behind, you would drop back a group. If a group was slowing you down, then you moved up a group. Took us 3 hours to get to the summit.
I started in the first group, and stayed there.
Half of the 2nd group didn't make it, and we never saw the 3rd group...they all quit.
I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, run 5 &10 K's, but THIS was probably the toughest Challenge I have done in 20 years!!!
That's why I did it...to prove it to myself!
Yes, I was once morbidly obese, had diabetes, heart trouble, etc etc.
Five years ago I could not climb the stairs in my house without getting short of breath.
Am I bragging?? You Bet!! And it is all because of the Lap Band Surgery!!!
(Next day I jumped off a 45ft cliff into the crystal clear Caribbean....no one else would do it)
