Being Healthy Pays Off
I saw this article today. It basically says if you are healthy in middle age, you will be less likely to die of cardiovascular disease.

These kinds of studies motivate me because I love to run, but sometimes it’s hard for me to justify spending time on it. This suggests that not only will I be healthier during the years that I run but also exercising will likely protect me from some health risks.

You are one of my heroes Steve! Guess what? I signed Dallin and Abby up for track! I will let you know when they run. Thank you once again for coming to Abby’s recital. You are the BEST!!!

Hi Natalie,
No problem! It was fun to watch the recital. Abby did a great job.
That’s great about signing them up for track? Is it for sprints or distance races? I like distance races, of course, but I think most kids prefer sprints. I bet they will both be great at either.

Great post Steve! Clicking through to the 12 minute test was pretty interesting. I’d better pick up the pace! I liked this calculator: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/MinuteRun.html
