Here is a question for my peer group out there. Yep, you that are say, 45 to 55 years old. When was the last time you ran, or jogged, or walked fast for a mile??? When I was younger, it was nothing to take off for a hike up in the woods above where I grew up, and walk for miles and miles. Later, running track and cross country in school, didnt even think twice to run up the block to the neighbors, or sprint the bases in softball, or play tough football, running all out sprints. How many of you could do that now?? I have been starting since we moved down here to Florida. First started walking in the morning with Takum, out in the cow pasture. Then built up to jog/walk, jog/walk. Now am finally starting to do some Hitt, with sprinting/ walking back, sprint/ walk back. Got a bunch of cows and some donkeys laughing at me and looking at me like I lost my mind. What got me started doing this?? Last January, we were with our friends in the Bahamas and the kids were gonna race on the beach. I thought, hell, Ill try that. I got about 10 steps and pulled a hamstring. Moral of the story. We aint in as good of shape as we think. Get out and do some moving. Start slow. Walk, then run, then if you want, sprint. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles, starts with one step!!!! Your health and your body will love you for it !!!
