Each Saturday, I am fortunate to meet up with my team mates from Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Biggest Winner Weightloss Challenge for our training. (Side note: We have a new video you might want to check out).
Our group joins up with the Knoxville Track Club as they train for the marathon as well.
I admit that at first it was a bit intimidating joining all of these super fit people who run faster and longer distances. It's one of those "One of these things is not like the other" deals. But to my delight, they are super nice and really supportive and encouraging to all of us and I have truly enjoyed meeting them.
I have always enjoyed walking. I feel the exact same passion for walking as runners feel for running. Walking gives me the chance to clear my head and arrange my thoughts. I pray, encourage myself, talk on the phone or listen to music during my walks.
So...the question is..why the heck haven't I been walking instead of getting fat?
I'd say "I don't have the time" but the truth is I haven't made time.
This journey has taught me that you can make time to do exactly what you want to do and walking wasn't at the top of my list. It's still not at the very tip-top but it's inching up little by little.
So if you're up early on a Saturday, come walk with us.
