Just a thought...

I realized today a couple of things. My children and I am probably the most athletic members of the Cattell family. Within the past year and a half, I have walked off 54 pounds and walked in my first 5K and have plans to do another one in March. Travis has now competed in his second Walt Disney Marathon. Not only did he start them both, he finished them both! This year he had Lindsea by his side and that is so neat to me I long for a permanent walking and exercise partner... Sarah can run 3 miles easily and the only reason that she did do the half marathon yesterday was her work schedule did not allow it. Knowing that exercise was once a dirty word for me and one of the things I was sure I was allergic to, I am so grateful that as the three of us are getting older, we can still find things that link us together-such as walking/running exercises. The Word of Wisdom does say that if we follow it, we "shall run and not be weary,and walk and not faint." I find myself anxious and eager to get back to walking again just as soon as I heal from this surgery.. Then, who knows...I may end up right up to your front door... so, LOOK OUT!! GET YOUR WALKING SHOES ON!
