My Motivation

It's been a challenging year health wise for me.  In the past I rarely would see a doctor, maybe for just a wellness check-up.  I was able to do about anything...run miles and miles, heavy yard work, lift weights, cycle miles and miles, but so far this years it's been different for me.  Nothing life threatening but seeing doctors regularly, in and out of the hospital several times created low energy and fatigued.  Right now I just can't do what I used to do.  Hopefully in time it will change.

Ralphie and Lucy have been my rock.  If it weren't for them I would probably just veg on the sofa, doing nothing, feeling sorry for myself.  Nope, every day Ralphie and Lucy tell me to get up and start moving.  They insist I walk them at 5am before work and then after work.  Oh no, I'm not allowed to sit around even though I'm dead tired.   No matter how I feel they push me to get outside and walk them 3 or 4 miles each evening.  If we go to the dog park, oh I'm not allowed to sit on the bench.  They insist that I get up and play with them, chasing them, throwing the ball and frisbee, and walking the park.  No sitting around for me!!

In reality, Ralphie and Lucy are getting me healthy again.  There's nothing like having two 4-legged physical therapists.  I truly appreciate their insistence to get me off my butt and start doing something.  I know exercise makes you heal and keeps you healthy.  Thank you Ralphie and Lucy for keeping me moving and for your silly antics which keeps me laughing...you are both my ROCK!
