I honestly believe that staying physically active is a quality of life issue. This is especially true as we age. I hope to continue running for my whole life but if the day ever came that I could no longer run I would switch to a strong walking program. And if the day ever came where I could no longer walk, I would do whatever I could.
The human body was created for movement. It is capable of so much more than we can imagine. It thrives for decades despite our abuse. As I get closer to my upcoming "holy crap" 60th birthday , I wanted to commemorate it in some way. These are the thoughts behind my tattoo.
How pretty! My Dad is a firm believe in that, running until his 70's, biking until his 90's, weights and swimming to this day. I do believe he made it as long as he did, 96 years, because of those principals, playing 9 holes of golf every day until he got cancer, and had some issues. May you have a wonderful new years, and many, many more years of running.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI read this book once and it said "life is movement". That has always stuck with me.
Enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteWOO HOOOOOOOO!!! Good one... and what you say is so true. When I developed the Rheumatoid Arthritis in my early teens, due to being told it was 'growing pains' (??!!! was already at my completed height!), I just kept moving; then came the days when I couldn't. But I still did. I have spent my life continuing to move even when I ought not to have. Now I am a little more sensible. Not a lot. Just a little. I don't do mountains anymore. Snail's pace. Walking-stick and lots of sitting between. But still moving!!!
Eyes-on... YAM xx
