Moving toward better health
I'm just back from NYC - the MORE marathon and half marathon. I started doing this race 4 years ago - the inaugural event. It's sponsored by MORE magazine which is geared for women 40 and older. That first year the race was so small you felt as if you met most of the women by the time you reached the finish line. This year it was packed. It was wonderful. That first year I ran with 3 pals and we met, perhaps, 10 more women from the capital region. This year my 'posse' was 27 strong and we must have seen another 2 dozen local women.
Women came from across the country .. Texas, California, Louisiana. And so many more mature women, those over age 60. Many were running strong ... but also .. many more women came to walk the 13.1 miles for the half marathon. How encouraging to see them taking those steps to keeping strong and healthy.
I know, not everyone's capable to of covering that kind of distance but every journey begins with one step. If you can, get out as the weather improves and start walking. Guaranteed, you 'll feel better.
