Dedication to fitness

Once upon a time, when I lived in Paris, exercising and fitness were never a part of my life. When I moved to the U.S. and elected to make America my new home, my life changed forever. In my early twenties, I decided that I wanted to learn to run. At the time, I knew someone who was an incredible runner, a fitness trainer by trade, and from that point on forward, my life changed forever. In the course of 12 months, I went from running one lap around the track ( which equates to a 400 meters), to running 10 miles per day at a pace of 7 minutes/mile. Make no mistake about it, the training that I went through was pure "hell", but what I learned from it was discipline,perseverance, and a never ending quest for health and fitness. I am now an  older woman, but my stamina, dedication, and love of fitness is still the same. At this stage in my life, many people help me pursue and achieve my goals. So here we go.... it's time to say Thank you. First and foremost, thank you to my incredible Doc, Dr. Welker. Twice a year, my doc, turns into Dracula, as he draws blood out of me. He teaches me about vitamins, proper nutrition and I know for a fact, that whatever course of action he chooses for my well being will never hurt me. Then comes my wonderful trainer Mike @ Carpe Diem. I have now known Mike for a few years and all I have to say, is that whenever he pushes me to my limits, I know for a fact that it is for my own good. I trust him. Let's not forget my new trainer Chelsea @ Hard Core Yoga aka miss " Rubber band". Chelsea helps me stretch whatever Mike got stiff and sore, but make no mistake about it, she gets me plenty sore. Starting next week, I am adding on to my existing exercising routine. I am very exciting about starting boot camp. I think that it will be a great addition to my existing fitness program. I would not be able to do all of this, if it were not for the wonderful people who keep me healthy. Thank you Dr. Welker, thank you Mike, thank you Chelsea. I am grateful for who you are, and thankful for what you do. Namaste!
