Find a Cause

If your own health isn't enough reason to get active, you may need to find motivation somewhere else.  Find a cause that's important to you and you'll be amazed at how you no longer doubt your own capabilities.  There are many opportunities to participate in activities to support various causes, especially when it comes to running.  The majority of the races I run, benefit local charities.  Also, the team I run on, Team Gabby Gabs, represents the Gabby Rocco Foundation: (www.GabbyRoccoFoundation.org).  Here's a picture of me racing in my team shirt:

I placed 2nd for my age group at that race (Yay!)  I was also able to raise awareness of the foundation and remember the children of families who are grieving.  Everybody wants to change the world, but most people miss the fact that there are opportunities everyday to make little changes that add up to greatness.
