This week on Late Starters Club I'm talking with Barry Karch, host of the Running For Your Life podcast. Barry has been training for a marathon after a 20-year hiatus from running. We talked about what motivated him to get back into running and his yearly Misogi (see the link below to learn more). He talks about this year's defining goal of climbing the equivalent of Everest in the 29029 Challenge in Snowbasin, Utah.
The most common theme that comes up in our discussion is how much more we find joy in the journey over the completion of a challenge later in life and our ability to be grateful for what we can do (even on the bad days).
Barry didn't begin his fitness journey until his late 30s, then took a 20-year break and is now back at it enjoying it more than ever. It's never too late to get started!
