I run on trails near my home to get in my cardio...I see this elderly lady on a daily basis walking with the use of 2 canes which she holds in each hand to maintain her balance....When I run past her.... she smiles....She continues her routine...walking miles....using her canes...The next time you are trying to talk yourself out of going to the gym...not wanting to run because it's cold or hot outside....Look around your environment....This women has become my motivation...If she can hit it....so can I.....Look around.....Motivation dwells everywhere....Self

Dude, let me start by saying...your post are some of the best in these forums. You always remain positive and your responses are very constructive!
I too have a lady next door to my house that is elderly. I think mid 90's. She walks every day, rain, snow ect. I talk to her daily, not because I feel sorry for her...but because I aspire to have her determination and desire to live when I am her age.
Thanks for sharing this :)
