Let me share an experience that happened this week. I meet a woman just by serving her at work so it was just a passing conversation but it truely left a resonating feeling in my soul.
This woman casually said she was to have an operation soon and so I asked," oh what type?" As comfortable as if talking about the weather she replied "a double mastecomy". To which I asked was it preventative or did she have breast cancer. She explained," oh I have breast cancer and a "good" one" - as she went on to explain that if she doesn't do anything, the Doctors have said she'll be dead by Christmas. She found all this out only one week ago and here she was a calm, accepting and preparing for a long journery ahead of surgery, chemo and radium.
Why do I share? Because it got me thinking girls.... Why complain about it being so cold in the mornings, why do some not get out of bed because they don't feel like running today, why take for granted the gift we possess - our health.
Why do we not fully appreciate daily, the fact that we are well and healthy - we are able to run, we get to enjoy each other's company every session. We should celebrate every single run , we should thank and appreciate our bodies and our health.
This year, many events have unfolded for several club members which should remind us all that we truly don't know what is around the corner.
So can I suggest - Lets' use the gift we all have - our healthy bodies - get moving - take advantage of all your opportunities.
Our club is rather unique and it offers its members a varied and professional range of programs and services - value yourself and your health - ignore your flimsy excuses that hold you back and take advantage and do all that you can, while you can!
