Today I’m thankful for my health. I am more health conscious now than I have been ever before in my life. I’m eating better and I’ve been working out regularly since August. Thanks to my friend Shan for giving me the boost I needed to join the gym. She’s been a very important part of my support system and I appreciate her encouragement very much. When I first started I was running intervals of 1 minute on the treadmill with several minute breaks in between. Eight weeks later I am now jogging for 25 minutes at a good pace with no breaks. My goal is to run a 5k by next spring. I feel a sense of accomplishment that I’ve never felt before and I am very thankful for that!
