Background
When I Started: Jan 2007
HOW I STARTED:
Several years ago I started running to lose weight. Then I started taking Shorin Karate. To get stronger for karate I started exercising with weights. My daughter, Audrey Murdick (whom see) is my mentor and inspiration.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Because age is just a number. People don't realize how much their quality of life will improve by looking and feeling stronger and more fit.

Wow! I registered with NCFS and I'm studying to take the exam to become a CPT! That is a real motivator! You have to practice what you preach if you're a trainer. Wish me luck!

I am very proud to say that this beautiful woman is my mother. This past April, she set a goal to get in the best shape of her life and she has been training hard every day since! She is such an inspiration to me ~ I love you, Mom! Keep it up! :-)

I'm so glad to have a found a member in the 50+ age group that I can identify with. I'm finding it so hard to change my bad habits at this age, surrounded as I am with people in the 19 - 22 year old range. Most of the women that I know in my age range have given up on their looks and accepted the fact that we are limited by our age. Mermaid lady seems to be telling me that we aren't limited. W...

Beautiful Legs
Posted in Other : Feb 22, 2011 9:51amYesterday I underwent a laser procedure for the removal of my varicose veins. I have hated those veins for years! Every time I looked into having them removed, though, I would get queasy reading about the painful stripping process. Now there is a minimally invasive procedure for removing bulging veins, and I am very optimistic that my results will be very satisfactory.
I had my left leg done yesterday, and today I am very happy to report that the post surgical pain is minimal. I hope to have the other leg treated in a few weeks.
It always bothered me that I worked...

To Each Her Own
Posted in Other : Jan 31, 2011 9:58amI am seriously considering getting certified as a personal fitness trainer in the coming year. This might seem strange to some, since I am 59 years old, a massage therapist, own a handmade soap business and supposedly retired about 4 years ago from an 18 year career in elementary education. To those who know me, though, it won't come as a surprise to hear the news that I am becoming a trainer. I entered my first body building competition last year at age 58 - probably the oldest female competitor there. And I sing the praises of clean eating and exercise to all my massage clients who care to l...
My Success Story continues in 2011
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 9:41pmThe Eat Clean Diet website has just featured me as one of their Success Stories! http://www.eatcleandiet.com/community/success_stories/sarah_murdick.aspx I am also featured in Kris Gethin's new book, Body By Design. It's things like that that help to keep you on track - especially during the holidays when there are "goodies" everywhere you look. If you do fall off the wagon, just get right back on! Everybody messes up ocassionally but the problem is when you don't do anything about the mess up and keep on messing up because you've GIVEN up! During stressful ti...

Amen to the life after 40! At 40, I buried my husband. Now at 42, I work out, I am in the last semester of my math degree, have my autoimmune under control, have a great boyfriend and lots of friends and a loving family! Planning on a competition in November! Let's keep going! Why on earth would we stop????

Very inspiring Sarah. Great to see 40 & 50-somethings showing that middle-age is not an inevitable slide to pudginess & poor health. You look like you could be your daughter's older sister. :-)
