I am overflowing with so much joy and excitement right now because today I ran further and longer than I ever have before without stopping! I ran 1.5 miles this afternoon and for someone with Cystic Fibrosis, that is a major milestone. Never in a million years did I think that I could run that far and not die; I never imagined that I would enjoy it either!
When I was in 7th grade I participated in track. I hated it. My dad was a track star in his high school days and I know that he was hoping the dream would've been passed down to me. It was not. I hated running, practice was boring, the bus rides to track meets were too long and noisy, and the only thing I enjoyed about track meets was the fact that it was one GIANT PICNIC in between each race! I was not an athlete; I was there for the socializing and the eating.
I don't consider myself an athlete today either, but I am becoming very passionate about wellness. I have been working out with a personal trainer for 1.5 years and I've been diving into the world of nutrition. Through numerous Juice Plus conferences I have learned valuable information about nutrition that has made a tremendous impact in my lifestyle and my health. I give God all praise and glory for my health and I am thankful that he has provided me with tangible solutions to establishing better health. I credit my great achievement of running to Juice Plus and to the fact that I exercise on a daily basis. I am seeing amazing results in my health and I am determining to forge ahead mightily! I'm sure my doctor is going to flip tomorrow when I tell him this exciting news!
If I can accomplish something like this, I know without a doubt that you can accomplish whatever you set your heart on. As always, be blessed, be healthy, and be inspired!!
