Kids!!
Lifelong
habits begin in childhood. So why not instill some healthy, lifelong habits
with your kid, or a kid close to your heart?
This past weekend I had the honor to race
with two of my heroes, two little girls from Boca Raton, Florida. These two
little ones, ages 4 and 5 have been cheering for me in my ventures of Obstacle
Course Racing for the past many months. When I crossed the finish line at the
Super Hero Scramble in Miami on Saturday, two little voices were screaming out
my name. As I scanned the crowd looking for the owners of these voices I found two
bright, beaming faces. It’s one thing to have fans cheering, but to have
mini-fans cheering, Wow! What an incredible honor! These two strawberry
blondes, clad in pig tails, so sweetly asked if I would be watching them in the
kid’s race. How could I think of doing anything different? Of course I would be
there.
To the start line they go, the gun goes
off and these two warriors are on the trail. Neither kid was afraid to tackle
any obstacle. In fact they both tried and accomplished the entire series of obstacles
mostly on their very own. Pretty impressive for kids so young, Oh, the
confidence they had!
Samantha and Zoe, and kids in general,
don’t need to know the reasons why exercise and nutrition are important, they
don’t need to stick to an exercise plan, or learn about heart rate or pace. At
such a young age, kids will automatically begin the habits of a healthy
lifestyle by the example we, the adults and role models, give them. .
So don’t wait any longer, sign yourself
and a child you adore up for an OCR near you today.
