Why Wait?

Is anyone else surprised that it is almost the end of 2009? Here we are about to celebrate one of the most significant holidays of the year. Everyone is making plans to get with family and friends and as we do, the end of the year creeps increasingly closer.

Christmas will be here before we know it and we will all be moaning the fact that time keeps “flying” by. Another year, more New Years resolutions made and un-kept. So why not start, right now, with the changes that you want to make?

Recently some guys that are involved in my life challenged me to start exercising. I could have put them off and said, “I’ll start in Jan.” But why, why wait? No better time than the present, right? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve only been twice, so I’m no expert; but I’m really proud of myself. I don’t feel the pressure of a halfhearted promise made to myself. I do feel the challenge of 3 guys who love and care about me and my health and that inspires me to “run” my race.

So, come on. That thing that you have put off doing and you know you really should do it. Don’t wait ’til January to start. As Nike says, “Just Do It!”
