OK...not really
My favorite women walk with me!
However, as usual, I got your attention
Now stay with me as I explain the purpose of this thread.
Below my post there will be a link to photos from a 5K I did with my beautiful
wife daughter and
son in law...aka...kidnapper
last Sunday.
As you can see from the pictures we didn't break any speed records. That wasn't the reason we did this 5K and although Angie and I may have gone a bit quicker my daughter wasn't able to since she had run 16 miles the day before, on her marathon training program. And also because, as usual, I had to drag my
son in law...aka...kidnapper
along.
We did the 5K because we do this one almost every year...WHY?....because we
HAVE to...again bear with me...
You see (many of you know the story so shhhh
'cause it is my story) we do these 5K's because
we can....we can because I quit
smoking 12 years ago....
the day before I did my first one ever
I probably wouldn't be alive if I hadn't stopped smoking
and kept doing 5K's....Angie would probably not be the lean machine she is and yoga
instructor she is today if she didn't continue to do 5K's....my daughter would not be in training for a marathon or have been an outstanding college tennis player if she didn't continue to do 5K's...my son (not pictured) would probably not be the head track coach at the high school he teaches at if he quit doing 5K's...my
son in law
....enough of him already
my
daughter in law
would not be a professional cheerleader for a local pro football team or her high school dance instructor if she didn't do...ok...she doesn't do 5K's...some are naturally shapely...but
WE are not that lucky!!
I would have not lost the 20+ pounds I gained after quitting smoking if I had quit 5K's...
MY POINT?....Look at the pictures....do we look happy
We are
My dad died at 54 years of age....I am 55.....my dad never did a 5K....he never quit smoking....he never cared much about what he ate...he was almost always fairly thin...'cept for that beer belly....
Did you stay with me? Did you get my point?
Don't give up...5K's are great....wonderful....
Have you got something better that is going to save your life?
Share it with me and all of your 3FC friends....
I hope I encourage you to get moving...You have encouraged me to stay moving
Sunday I will watch the Son Rise....a great day to do a 5K....after church....with my wife and my golden....but very spoiled
receivers...yep I said receivers....they don't retrieve anything!
Will you receive the gift of "years" to your life by doing one...5K?...
that is all I was gonna do...
just one....to make Angie happy ...I could not tell you how many hundred of them I have done....around the neighborhood...by myself....with my wife....dogs....hundreds of others...
do something good for yourself...your family...12 years from now...you will/may thank me
