Motivation 101, Part 8

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. –George Burns

I hope everybody had a fantastic weekend!! I enjoyed a nice, long run and have rested since then due to some pain in the knee. I also got to spend a little time with family in Virginia yesterday—and that was, of course, very enjoyable! Now it is time to get back down to business.

For today’s Motivation Monday, I am going to share a story that a friend actually shared with me. I have heard people say a BILLION times that “I can’t run” and “I’m too old.” Well, while I’m sure this is a lie that these individuals have told themselves enough to believe, I share with you today a story that proves that age plays no factor in being fit—and as a matter of fact, it actually helps to maintain youth. Below is a video of the story of Ms. Ida Keeling, a 95 year old runner. Enjoy her story!
 
 

Today’s entry is short because Ms. Ida’s story is more than enough. Enjoy your Monday—let’s start this week strong!

I know--If I'm not in a wheelchair at 80, I'll be feeling good--95 and setting sprinting records?!
