The Inspire Millions Challenge!

I read this post today by  Brett Klika CSCS and LOVED it!!  Let's just get up and move.. even a little will go along way!  Know the ingredients in your food.  We can do it!

Inspire Millions Challenge!

Americans are no longer chubby, portly, or overweight.

We are corpulent, obese, and rotund. We don’t move like humans are supposed to move.
We don’t eat like humans are supposed to eat. We are not just merely dying from this plight, we are suffering.
What would happen to a Cheetah if we fed it Cheetos and made it sit idle? It would get sick, it would get depressed It would develop pain, and die.
Why? Because Cheetos are not what Cheetahs are supposed to eat, and sitting idle is not what cheetahs are supposed to do.
As cruel as the above treatment may seem to an animal, many Americans live, embrace, and defend their “right” to this scenario. After all, there is a robust, nearly unchallenged industrial machine to support it. Unchallenged, until now.
This is a call to action.
A much higher calling than sculpting a six-pack, toning thighs, selling gym memberships or slinging miracle supplements.
It’s a call for our society to lift each other up off the couch and move.
It is a call to educate each other to eat food instead of chemicals.
It is a call to INSPIRE MILLIONS to stop suffering and live like humans are designed to live.
You don’t have to be a personal trainer, life coach, or physician to grab a loved one’s hand and say “let’s go for a walk”. How do you know if you are walking fast and far enough? When someone no longer needs to pull you off the couch to go for a walk. You don’t have to be a dietitian, nutritionist, or chef to select food that is actually “food” and not merely a chemically-induced taste. How do you know what “real food” is? The ingredients list should be the food itself. For meat, well, if you know what the animal’s name was prior to being on your plate, it’s probably safe to eat.

We don’t have to be hot, ripped, toned, shredded, sculpted, or beautiful. We need men, women, and children to get off the couch, stop eating poison, and get out of pain. Everyone can contribute. Do something today, right now to change the way you live or INSPIRE someone else to do the same. It may not happen overnight, it may take time. Person by person, household by household, city by city, state by state.
Working together, we can stand up and INSPIRE MILLIONS to be happy, healthy and pain free. After all, that’s how humans are supposed to live.

Kid's Missoula Marathon

I am trying to get the word out to the parents/guardians about this years' Kids Marathon in Missoula!  This is the 5th year the Missoula Marathon has been going and it is such a success!  It has done so well that is has been featured in Runners World, as the Best Overall Marathon and won this years' State of Montana's 2011 Tourism Event of the Year award!  That is amazing achievement for only have been going since 2006!  Included in the Missoula Marathon & Half Marathon, is a Kids Marathon.  Don't worry, kids don't have to run 26.2 miles all at once!  What they do is print out a log sheet and keep track of the miles (or part miles) they run up until July 8.  They will want to run 25 miles by then, and on Saturday, July 9, they finish their marathon with a 1.2 run on the course in Missoula!  It is a great way to break a huge accomplishment into smaller parts!  I would LOVE to see St. Ignatius represented by having lots of kids participating!  Go to Run Wild Missoula for more information!  Also, email me to let me know your child(ren) is participating!
