What keeps you motivated to stay healthy and nourish your body? What keeps you getting out of bed everyone morning to visit your gym? On this, the last day of March, I think we all need some encouragement and inspiration from one another... so let us know what keeps you motivated!
e in... we cried 'Uncle' on Mother Nature and my family and I went to Florida for a week. It was SO nice to run in warm weather and log as many miles as we possibly could. We did get caught in the rain once... the skies just opened up and poured down, but it truly was a welcomed rain and created a really fun memory!There's something profoundly spiritual about running early in the morning. The sun was up, the birds were chirping and the wind was blowing, it was glorious! I recognize, however that not everyone is an early morning runner, that's why it's important to listen to your own body's rhythms and patterns. The following poem written by a fellow runner made me smile... enjoy!
Oh, how I long
For a 5 a.m. alarm
To leap out of bed
So lively and warm.
With energy and joy
I’d slip into my shoes
And clip on the Garmin
With no time to lose.
I’d sneak down the stairs
So my husband could sleep;
The kids and the dog
They’d hear not a peep.
I’d grab for my keys,
My water and hat,
And slip out the door
Not needing a map.
My five mile runs
Are all up in my head;
Nine milers and tens
Locked in my shoes’ treads.
Not a creature is out
As I run before dawn,
Except for the deer
Crossing over the lawn.
The silence, how peaceful!
The dark is such bliss!
The sunrise, I hear,
Is a thing not to miss.
I start my run slow
My thoughts keep my pace,
I don’t even mind
The wind on my face.
As I head to my out
And then start back around,
My feet pick up speed
With each strike of the ground.
The adrenaline rush
Gives me pep, sass and zest—
Until I remember
I’m a Night Owl, at best.
I thought this was really cute and explains me in the beginning and my husband at the end! :) To each their own. Make one step to living a healthy life today!

Oh how nice it is to dream about running outside and being able to wear less than 3 layers to enjoy mother nature. My husband and I braved the cold yesterday (a sweltering 22 degrees) to get our long run in for the week. We stuck it out and much to our surprise we actually started to sweat once we got moving (about 4 miles in). Despite the brisk weather, the sun was out and was all in all it was quite enjoyable. If I have to run one more 'long run' on the dreadmill I will cry. So here's to all you dreaming of sunshine, warm weather and cute summer clothes!
