I find motivation in some of the smallest of things… new running shoes like these you see with hot pink accents… signing up for a race and then working to be the best I can be before race day… my LIVESTRONG bracelet that I recently replaced after giving one I had years ago to a cancer survivor I did a story with… notice not one of those statements has anything to do with my actual “health…”
?
Sometimes we take our health for granted.. but health care reform and age are both forcing me to change my view… and employers are doing the same thing… encouraging people to be more active… if we simply “replied” to a corporate e-mail we got yesterday we automatically got put into a “lottery drawing” that will eventually mean two people get to go to Disney to run a half marathon for free (race fee will be paid for by the company) and $500.00 dollars toward traveling expenses.. this is a runner’s dream… and I think it is great.. but since I am one of those people “who never wins anything” I’m not packing my bags just yet…
Free half marathon or not… the weather has been enough motivation for keeping my feet moving… a lady who works out at the gym near our house told me at the grocery store the other day they missed seeing me… I said eventually it will be a bit too cold or snowy for running outside.. so I will definitely be back…
I hope everyone is motivated to get outside and enjoy the warm and sunny weather this week doing something active or fun this week.. Jeff says the pretty weather isn’t sticking around for too much longer…
