The Real Circle of LIFE

Four years ago I needed a way to get off the couch and get healthy. A good friend and coworker began to taok about her running - she had lost over 50lbs and had run the Disney princess half marathon. She had set and met goals - and a little older than a decade than me. It inspired me to run. Since then, I have run 16 half marathons, along with other races. 

My very athletic husband has started running after years of typical American life. He started slow and has worked up to his goals, running a sub-30 minute 5k, and now working toward a 10k this fall. Tonight, he gently encouraged a very exhausted me out the door, when I wanted to sleep after my 12hr day and  2  1/2hr commute. Mitzi my Aussie and I walked 4 miles. 

I have coworkers and friends and Fitbit friends who tell their stories of moving forward. Of health. 

Every day is a new day. My husband and friends encourage me to keep moving. To stay healthy. 

I hope I am also encouraging others. 

That is the true circle of life- this life we have been given. 

Get out there. Make healthy changes. Get active. Stay active. 

You never know who you are helping.
