On with the new ...

So 2006 is almost over, Christmas is done. It's been a great year. I dropped 15 pounds and at 35 I'm in the best shape of my life. Yesterday on my Christmas afternoon 8 mile run in the cold, I couldn't help but think how easy this is. Why doesn't everyone do this? There is so much to be gained in life from the simple things. Placing one foot in front of the other is one of the simplest yet one of the most profound things I have done in my life? How can it be so simple yet change my life so greatly. I laugh every time I run at night and see the glow of blue coming out of just about every home I pass on my way to the trial. I think to myself turn it off. Get out here, this is where it all begins. Tv is where it ends. Countless comericials and other people telling you what to think, what to feel, what to eat. And we buy into it. We buy empty calories and empty promises that companies what us to believe. Family, God, Health, this is what life is about, and these are the times that will make us truely happy. As we move into the new year what is one thing you would like to change about yourself? For most of us the goal will be health related since the health of america is soooo poor. I know. Mine used to be. This is a great time to sign up for a local race in the spring. If a triathlon is too much, try a 5k, there all over the place and ANYONE can do them. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

have an awesome and inspiring 2007. Heres to the new you!
