Well, I've been absent for a really long time.  So many things in my life have changed since then, that I can't even begin to cover them all, so I'm going to treat this as starting over.  Unfortunately, my discipline and focus have become nearly non existent, and I've regained most of the weight I worked so hard to lose.  Accountability has also been seriously lacking, so that's where you come in.  I'm not currently working, so there is no good excuse for my inactivity.  Things have been very busy this summer.  My son graduated from high school (I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.), we took a vacation, my son turned 18 yesterday, and I'm leaving on Saturday to visit my sister and her family in Utah for 10 days.  All of that aside, I've got to get myself back on track.  I'm inviting you to come along for the journey.  As before, this blog is not exclusively about fitness, but about my journey through life.  I'll be sharing milestones, favorite products, and lessons learned.  I hope you'll join me.  Life is always better with good company :)

Friday Fave!

Who do YOU run for?

God gave me the gift of mobility. Others aren't as fortunate. I run for Paolo. Who do YOU fun for?

My Friday fave today is a very special one.  IR4 is an organization that matches runners with people who cannot run.  Many of them are children with physical disabilities.  Once matched the runner dedicates their miles and/or workouts to their buddy.  I've had the privilege of being matched very recently. The group is experiencing tremendous growth, so it can be a long wait to be matched.  I was on the list for several months. Runners post at least 3 times a week to the Facebook group tagging their buddy's parent.  Most of us send race swag or little gifts periodically. My buddy is a little boy in Washington who has Down Syndrome, Autism, and Global Apraxia.  I have already come to adore him and his dear family.  The pictures and videos his mom shares with me absolutely make my day.  It is such an honor to get to run for this beautifully special little boy.  If you are a runner, I strongly encourage you to check out the group.  I can't imaging anything more rewarding or worthwhile.
