    Oh, Steve, you might as well make it your "50 by 50" program!  Once you do 25, you won't be able to stand it until you do a 50!  :)  My sister is 52, in terrible health physically (diabetes, high blood pressure, back and neck problems, etc.) just did her first 50 and is planning another one already!!  :)  It's addictive!!  But makes you feel oh, so wonderful mentally if not physically.  And the pain goes away....sort of like having a baby... during labor a woman swears she isn't going through this again but as soon as the baby is born (or in this case, the ride is over), she's planning the next one!!  :)  Good luck...JUST DO IT.  But good thing for checking in here first...you'll probably do a better job than I did.  I found RC AFTER the fact!!  :)

    P.S.  I'm 40.
