My motivation this week are my "healthy" friendships. A good friendship is stronger then any muscle in my body. They can break or tear, but when they repair, they become stronger than ever.
Here are a couple examples of fitness helping enrich my friendships:
Dana and I completed a 10k and had the best time! Couldn't run and talk about life during the race, but finishing the race with her and seeing that big smile was worth it. We share a passion for exercising and this activity was the perfect thing for us. We can say when we get older, "remember that race." My heart lights up to know I can only share this memory with her.

Below is a picture from the Cinciditarod. It’s named after the Alaskan Iditarod – 1,100-mile dog-sledding race – but instead of dogs, we used people, and instead of sleds, we had shopping carts. We started downtown at Fountain Square and continued a 10k scavenger hunt for a local food bank around Cincinnati. Team "Ghostbusters" finished 11th and it was awesome!
