I went out yesterday and ran in the "Y Run For Kids" 5k race. I did not win or anything cool like that, but I had a great feeling when I finished. I expended all of my energy doing it and was so tired when I finished... but I felt great! I was wondering why I felt this way... was it the endorphins your body produces when you exercise? Was it the sense of accomplishment of finishing a race? Or was it the simple fact that I realize I am an active person now, who likes to push himself and see what his limits are?!?

All I know is that being active leaves you feeling good about yourself... it doesn't matter how fast or what place you come in... whether you are good at a sport or even to an extent, what activity you are doing. It matters that you are pushing yourself to become a better you in a healthy way!

Get out and do something every day and you'll feel better, look better and be happier...

You did place 3rd in your age group which is still pretty cool!

Yeah, and for his age.... that's really really cool!! haha. Good job Y's Guy!! You can still keep up with the best of them!!
