Running Buddy

Sometimes is hard to get the proper motivation to continue your dedication to your running routine. This is where a running buddy comes in handy.

When you just don't want to get up at 5AM to do your morning run, they are there to make you feel guilty if you do not keep your commitment. This is called "accountability", and everyone even a dedicated runner needs that extra push once in a while.

I consider myself very dedicated and sometimes I feel like, sleeping in and rescheduling the run for the evening. Funny thing is that when the evening comes, I justify skipping the run by convincing myself that I just have too much to do.

Since I commited myself to training with a buddy, does not happen. I feel guilty when the thought of skipping a run comes to mind. I quickly jump out of bed and the rest is easy. It's amazing how taking that first step just changes my attitude. It's also amazing how great I feel after completing the run. I then shower and go to work, and I'm able to handle the stress and pressure a whole lot better.

So, take that first step and start your day right. Start your day with a positive attitude and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

Grace “Amazing Grace”

The size of your heart is immeasurable. There will always be a “special place in my heart just for you for eternity”.

You were like a mother to me and a grandmother to Chantelle and Christopher. You helped us through some of the toughest times in our lives, and that we will never forget.

You truly are the most positive and most stubborn person I’ve ever met. When you put your mind to it, you complete amazing tasks, and changed the lives of many.

I thank God for being blessed with wonderful grandparents when I was young, and double blessed when I met you when Chantelle was 10 and Christopher was 7. They too were blessed by having you in their lives.

Love,

Francesca
