Today I wanted to explore the topic - Are we, as a society, getting healthier or not? When you think of all the advancements when it comes to medicine, technology, and information at our finger tips, do you think we’ve made progress when it comes to health and wellness in our society or are we falling behind?

And as someone who has worked in healthcare for 23 years, what I have observed is that we don’t seem to be getting any healthier as a country. Yes, people seem to be living longer, but I wouldn’t say their quality of life in their later years is significantly better. And as someone who values health and fitness and spends a lot of time in this space myself, it seems like the healthiest people are getting healthier or at least showing more interest and investing in more things to help them age in a healthier way, while the majority of people in our country are not doing the basic things when it comes to their health.

I don't know about you, but life has felt crazy busy this last month, so if you too are in a season of MORE, this episode is for you!

This is your reminder that it’s okay to do less of the extra stuff when you are dealing with more. It’s okay to be graceful with yourself, let some things go for a while, and choose to prioritize what’s actually important.

This last week, I was thinking of what’s most important for me to hold onto when I am going through busy seasons, and 5 main pillars came to mind. No matter how busy things are, these are the 5 things that keep me feeling grounded, help me to feel like myself, protect my peace, and bring me joy. And I hope you will also take some time after listening to this episode to make a list of YOUR 5 pillars that will help you not just survive a busy season, but continue to thrive.

On today's episode, I give you a little race training update and what I’ll be training for this spring, but we are also talking about 5 questions or things you need to consider if you are thinking about training for your 1st marathon. Maybe you’ve tackled the ½ marathon distance and are thinking about signing up for a full marathon now. Or maybe you’ve only run shorter distances like 5K’s and 10K’s, but would love to be able to check a marathon off your bucket list, there are several things you will need to consider before signing up.
