It’s time to get back in shape.
2020 was a hell of a year! The photo above was just before I went out for my birthday run on December 23, 2020. It was not the way I’ve envisioned running on my birthday each year (1/10th of a mile for each year lived). I’ve struggled with personal vices and I’m feeling the pain of aging. I’ve watched my parents struggle with aging and unable to maintain proper “health and wellness”. I’ve realized that I need to get my ass in gear if I don’t want to permanently lose my health.
So, I’m creating this blog/journal to keep me accountable on my search for health and wellness in 2021.
I will document my successes and failures as it relates to finding “health and wellness”. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Today is January 1, 2021.
“RUN WITH ENDURANCE” - Hebrews 12:1
Time to get motivated!
In 2010 I found my life being disassembled in the height of the great recession. Everything I had planned for was eroding as I lost our business, lost my second job, lost our home, lost our cars, and ultimately lost all of the community we found in Palm Coast. We had sunk deep roots into the area since moving there in 2000 and to say it was difficult is an understatement.
So, with the shirts on our backs we moved from Palm Coast, FL to Rochester, MN and started all over. Perseverance was our motto from 2011 to 2018. I gave my all for work and to support the family. The ink I got in summer of 2010 was one of the ways I initially coped, and over the years I’ve come to understand that life really IS like running a marathon. You have to run the race with endurance which requires good health and wellness. So I’m looking forward to jumping back in! I got this.
