10 Year Update - yes, I am still alive!!

10.0 years coming up since my Natale ablation. No ablation meds except adult aspirin daily, went from 1 year of continuous 24/7 AFib to NSR for almost 10 years now. Not much change from the last report.

Here is my almost 6 months update.

So, I turned 75 in November, and will turn 76 this next November.

I continue swimming 4-5 hours weekly, bicycling 100 miles per week (generally 20-30 mile rides), walking several miles per week. I have given up my plan for the Sprint Triathlon due to a severe bout of bursitis in my left hip, for which I had PT , and it is much improved,but no formal triathlon, although there are days when I do the equivalent, just at my own pace.

I continue TRX training, also, and am getting more advanced..

Other things:

I do 150 (3 x 50) pushups, and did 75 in a row on my 75th birthday, bench presses, planks, curls, rows, am doing a lot of balance exercises on the BOSU ball, balance board, etc., and a lot of stretching. About 180 minutes of exercise/stretching daily. I do regular (4-5 times per week) bicycle rides this summer followed by a 40 minute swim, and lots of walking.

I am still active in the gospel singing group I started 9 years ago, We sing all across the state. We are now welcoming ladies into our group..

I m writing this to provide hope to some of you, and to show that a good life can still go on in your 70's

Best of luck to all of you.
