There was a woman running beside me this morning on the treadmill. It really helped me keep going. She was really fit and ran the 30 minutes continually. She mentioned that she had fallen out of a regular routine for running and just started getting back into it. She had some surgery on her calf last year. It was amazing to see her determined but still having fun. It was really nice having someone there that I could talk to and relate to.
It’s easy to fall out of that routine and get out of shape. It can snowball and before you know it you’ve gained 30 lbs and feel tired all the time. I want to be a great role model for my daughter. I was thinking the other day if anyone asked me who I look up to or who I looked up to as a kid. I really have no idea. I was obsessed with Wonder Woman up until I was 7. Other than that I haven’t really had a healthy role model.
Later in life I learned to appreciate how strong and amazing my Grandmother is. She truly is the strongest most determined woman in the world. She saved my life when I was five. I had drowned in our family pool in the winter, under the water for a while. She jumped in and resuscitated me. Brought me back to life. When I came to I was in the bath hyperventilating and shaking. I’m not sure where she was after that. Probably saving the world. She truly is wonder woman. Who also used to make pancakes in her camper van. Man those pancakes were good.
