LIFE LESSONS

Don’t let the ship sail I came so close to letting my dream go, letting life get in the way of what I wanted to do. Not that I have any regrets about my life — it’s been great — and I’m thankful for my husband, two sons and four grandchildren. Age? What about it? In my late 40s, I took up road cycling and was running as well as I’d ever done. I got into triathlons and ocean swimming at the age of 51. More recently, I’ve been learning how to free dive. Due to work, it’s currently on the back burner, but I’m keen to revisit it in the future.

Make family and friends a priority I do the best I can; I just wish there was more time to catch up with everyone.
