Only ten days to go before my first competition at age 70. I’ve been training so hard sometimes I feel a bit like “Rocky.” I’m happy with the results I’ve achieved and I’m happy to announce that I’ve noticed some considerable improvements in my physique.
Although I’ve been training consistently for 14 years I have put my all into my preparation for the upcoming competitions. The first comp is on 23rd June in Melbourne and the second one is in Zakinthos in Greece.
Although I’m very excited I’m also very nervous and a bit tired. I get up at 5am four days a week and workout at the gym for three hours. On the off days I usually walk 8km and do my usual push ups etc. In some ways I’m looking forward to scaling back my training a bit after the competitions.
By my competing at age 70 I’m hoping that those who fear older age will take heart by seeing that one doesn’t have to fall into frailty or melt into obscurity simply because one is older and that you can be feminine, muscular, in-shape and vital even at the age of 70. Go for it girls! Show how fantastic you can be!
Hope you’ll post a few photos for us, too! I’ve also been working out, but have been forced into a week’s hiatus, due to a cold, and then sinusitis! Aaargh. Keep up the excellent work. You continue to be a great inspiration to us all!
Dear Mary, thank you for your encouragement and support. It means a lot. Yes, I will post some photos on the blog when I get them. I’m glad you’re working out and I hope you’re feeling much better now.
Warmly
Janice

Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for thinking of me and sending your good wishes.
So much has happened since last Thursday. Last Thursday I was interviewed by Radio National’s ‘Life matters’ and a TV channel is now doing a story on me.
Last Sunday was magical. I felt like a movie star. I would like to tell you more about everything but I’m in a spin because there is so much to do before Sunday when I fly out to Greece but please know I really appreciate your good wishes and encouragement.
Warmly
Janice
