I had the pleasure of seeing Carl Lewis speak this past January at the First Yoli Convention in Las Vegas. Carl's story was very inspirational. As a 9 time Gold Medal Olympian in track and field, he had many obstacles in his life to overcome throughout his career. Through it all, he never gave up and kept focused on his goals.
Carl told us: "A down economy is a time of innovation, a time to take charge of your life. Go build a bridge to a new life and future. This economy is a great climate to take charge and inspire people." So, as you think about your plans for this weekend and your goals for yourself, personally or professionally, take Carl Lewis' advice and go inspire yourself and others. There is no better time to do it! Have a great weekend.

This is a place for new, old and wishing to be runners to come and learn, share and inspire each other on this healthy but addictive sport! I welcome your comments and suggestions. Heidi J Cox

How about folks that need to start walking ?
ReplyDeleteBeing in my 60's .. I need the exercise...can you give any advise on how and what I should do .... before just heading out !!!
I'm sure there are a lot of (not so young)people who could use a little help in getting into walking.... Art
Great point Art! Anything you do is great. You should still stretch before you walk and take it slow. Same principles as with the running-set goals, stretch,. start slow and enjoy!
