Safety While Exercising

A good friend of ours bought a gift card from Road ID.com to allow us to buy identification wrist bands to wear when we are out running or biking as a means of providing vital information in case of an emergency.  I whited out our cell numbers on here for privacy of having it on the blog site.  But these wrist bands provide important information that could some day be vital for us.

These are a good way of helping to provide information that could be critical under those circumstances.  They also are good to wear when traveling, or even to wear on a regular basis daily.  These are great not only for your own safety and benefit, but for those important to you.  Thank you Cory Ann for making us aware, and purchasing these wrist ID bands for us.  Get one for yourself at www.RoadID.com.

Happy Fathers Day!

My mom and dad came for the weekend, and of course my dad has to have some work to do.  Here he is with Sarah working in the garden.  Always active, and on the move.  79 years old…rides his stationary bike 15 miles a day! 

 

I guess I know where I get my exercise habits from…the apple does not fall far from the tree!  It was a great weekend spending time with them.  You have taught me a lot over the years, and I appreciate all of it.  Happy Fathers Day Dad!  Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there.  You deserve it!

Perfect Spring Weather

A perfect Spring Day…great temperature, calm winds…perfect to be outside.  These golfers enjoy the day, and get exercise, although they would get more exercise if they leave the cart behind. 

Besides anything exercise related, spending time out like this is a good social event as well.  A time to relax, enjoy the company of friends, and be active.  This is all important when it comes to general wellness, and well being.  So, everybody, get outside, and move!  Go do something, and enjoy this weather.

Hospital Hill Run/Walk 2011

And we are off!  Yesterday was our 15th annual Hospital Hill run/walk.  We had approx 200 participants.  Best of all…we had great weather!  Good turn out, for a good cause…proceeds will go the Prairie Lakes Caring Club House. 

Nick after the race…he got 3rd overall…but I was breathing down his neck as I came in 5th.  Good day for the race, and Nick had a good 14th birthday as well.  The race was initially developed by me 15 years ago as a means to get people out and be active, whether running or walking.  Stay healthy, and have fun!  Thanks to all my support people for helping to make this event a success…there is no way I could do this by myself.  Thanks to all of you for all of your help!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 14th Birthday Nick!  He stays very busy between basketball and running, and today won his age group at the Hospital Hill run, which I will show some pictures tomorrow.  It was a great day…

…and remember, sometimes it is OK to “splurge” a little with the food/diet, and remember to enjoy life.  You make up for it in other ways, activity, decreased portions somewhere else.  Remember, enjoy the important things in life when they come, otherwise you may just miss out on them!
