Now let me set the record straight. I’ve known for over a year I wanted to have my own blog, but couldn’t decide on the title. Then one night I had an “aha” moment (at a Texas Rangers Game of all places). It was there I realized all my life experiences, triumphs and trials (the “First Mile”), have prepared me for the newest chapter of my life (“The Second Mile”) and beyond. Thus, the birth of “The Second Mile.”
I remember the day I announced to family and friends that I was creating a blog. Here’s how it went:
Me: I’m really excited. I’m going to become a blogger and it’s entitled, The Second Mile.
Them: Wow, that’s great … (long pause) … and what would YOU (slowly scanning from the top of my head to my feet) have to say about exercise?
Me: No, you don’t understand. It’s about what you learn from your First Mile that prepares you for the Second Mile.
Them: Yeah … (pause) … right!
Twenty years ago I would have taken offense and cried my way to a Super Duper Banana Split. Not now … I’m on a mission, I have a plan, and I have a lot to say. Soooo, it is my hope “The Second Mile” will inspire, encourage, and (at times) entertain you. So let’s get started … sit back, relax, and read on!
