My inspriation

The person who inspires me to keep up my activity levels is my grandma. At 78 years old, she continues to wake up everyday with the intention of getting chores and straightening up before leaving for her daily walk and social rounds. She wholeheartedly believes in the mantra of "keep moving" which she picked up from Oprah or something. It's amazing to see her after a lifetime's worth of hard work and activity, still refusing to take it easy. Don't get me wrong, she takes breaks and watches tv, but she enjoys being active, both physically and socially. Just watching her in action is both inspiring and humbling at the same time; inspiring because she makes me want to match her motivation levels and humbling because her drive is innate, natural and so organic. At times when I get lazy, I think of her and how she takes days off only when she truly has to and this is usually the motivation I need to get off my butt and do something.

12 days left until the half-marathon...
