So she put the question to herself. The answer set her on an unexpected five-year path of transformation from an unathletic office executive glued to her screens to an age-group medalist and world championship competitor in obstacle course racing--a demanding military-style sport requiring speed, endurance, mobility, and strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eNot Too Late, \u003c\/i\u003eBounds explores how tackling something new and hard upended her expectations for middle age--while also helping her reconcile regrets of her youth. Her story takes us from playgrounds and gyms, where Bounds relearns childhood movements (swinging from monkey bars, climbing a rope); to far-flung Spartan Race courses, where she strives to master running in difficult terrain and to conquer challenges such as scaling tall walls, crawling under barbed wire, and carrying heavy loads of rocks up mountains. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bounds's journey offers inspiration and a road map for anyone craving more out of life.

Through Bounds's story, as she changes her body and mindset, we learn about humans' capacity to tap inner reserves, face fears, locate intrinsic motivation, and push boundaries at any life stage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUltimately, one message prevails: When unleashing our full potential, age can be a secret weapon.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGwendolyn Bounds\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning journalist, author and speaker, most recently working at The Wall Street Journal Leadership Institute where she is Senior Vice President \u0026amp; Head of Content.
