Inspired by Family

I feel a renewed energy with this family exercising craze! I feel so motivated that this morning I ran in the dark (with a flashlight) while it was raining. The entire time I thought of the motto "put on your shoes" and of Mark's recent wisdom from running in Seattle, "Once you are wet, you are wet! At some point it doesn't matter if the water is coming from the inside or the outside."


 A frightening, drenched version of "Mother" woke the 3 younger kids up for school today. Then I joined Madi & Janelle for an aerobic session sponsored by Denise Austin. We are ALL trying to be a bit healthier.

I was further inspired by Cheyenne's entry and find myself feeling a bond with all of you as we exercise miles apart but for the same purpose of becoming healthier.

Susan Harris once said to me, "Health is like a bank account. Every day you exercise it is like making a deposit into your account. Every deposit means you'll have a longer, healthier life!"

"Woot Woot" for DEPOSITS!
