Here Sarah is with the kids at the Breast Cancer run yesterday. Great gathering in support of Breast Cancer, and for moms in general. The kids learn from us on staying active, so parents…start setting the tone if you have not already. And as for Moms, regardless of what Dads may think, you are the one in charge…Lead by example! As for me…
…I learned from the best. We spent yesterday in SF with the family, celebrating Mothers Day, and My parents anniversary which is May 10…it will be 56 years for them together. As I stated above, my mom set the tone, and leads by example. Thanks for everything Mom!

It was a great start to a weekend, and then with it being Mothers Day, got to spend it with my parents as well. Until tomorrow…

Attention everybody: The Avera Breast Cancer run/walk is this coming saturday in Sioux Falls. Literally thousands of people will be there. Come join in the activity, whether as a participant, or as a supporter. Nobody out there can say they do not know somebody who has had breast cancer, either they themselves, or somebody they know, either relative or friend. Come show how we care!

Rest a ball between your back and a wall, and then squat until your knees get as close to 90 degrees as you can get, and then hold, working your way up to one minutes.
The more flexible you are, the more you will be able to get to 90 degrees. Overall, it is not as easy as it may look. Start out slow. This exercise is also a good way to help support your back, as you can lean back against the ball while doing this.
