🚴♀️ At 50, Sheila Isaacs got a gift—a bike.
At 87, she’s completed over 200 triathlons, six marathons, countless races, and even an Ironman World Championship.
Her secret? She started where she was.
No perfect timing. No “I’m too old.” Just a willingness to follow what sparked joy.
Sheila’s story is one of several I’m sharing in my latest piece, Stories from the Journey: Real People, Real Discoveries—a celebration of people who found new purpose, deep connection, and adventure well after most would have said “it’s too late.”

New Yorkers finding belonging in the Life Story Club
Barbara Hillary, who reached both the North and South Poles at 79
Fauja Singh, who began marathons at 89 and ran into his 100s
💡 The takeaway: Aging is not a countdown—it’s a canvas. And it’s never too late to paint something new on it.
