Inspiration

Yesterday before our run coach Jason asked all of us what our inspiration was for doing this run. A handful of people spoke up and told their reasons for getting up and running in the 29 degree weather yesterday. I had to think about that. I've never really thought about it. I have lots of reasons; hard to pick just one. Hearing about Kellsie's struggle on a daily basis inspired me to quit smoking when I was struggling with it. The first year was really hard; but I would always think of her struggle and tell myself "you have it easy, you can choose to be healthy, she had no choice". Then I think also that one of the reasons I do it is simply "because I can" and so many other people can't. I have selfish reasons for doing it also, I want to lose some weight and I like to meet new people and hear their stories. Their stories inspire me also. So, ya I guess I do have reasons and inspirations......next time I'll share mine.
