Tonight Brenda wore me out. In early May we started walking a few times a week. A mile or so. Now it's over a mile-and-a-half. She wants to time us everytime. About 31 minutes, including a little cooldown. The last two nights she says we should run several times during our walk (thank you Dr. Oz!). And she seems to always have to stay a half-step ahead of me, no matter how fast ("fast?") we go.
If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be walking, and if I was walking I'd be walking slower. And I'd definitely not be running, even a few steps.
I'd want to. But to do it I need someone to push me, to challenge & inspire.
Dave Ramsey says "There is no energy in logic, only emotion."
I'm a logic guy. But it takes energy to do things. When I see and feel someone with energy, I respond. I need someone to set the pace, be an example. I end up doing things I should do, things that are good for me and others, instead of just thinking about them. Things like making friends, helping people, projects at work, church and home, giving grace and...walking. Pacesetters are good for you.
Maybe tomorrow I'll yell slow down girl! only two or three times.
