I am new to CDL. In an effort to let you get to know me better, I thought I’d share with everyone why I signed up for the Corporate 5k. To start, first let me tell you I am less than two weeks away from my birthday. Let’s just say I’m just past 50. In the past 5 years, I’ve done very little in the way of exercise.

Well, except for the obvious - walking the mall, the grocery store, the parking lots, and the super stores. Also, I have pushed a stroller; lifted, carried, and ran after my son, who not consequently, is 5 years old.

Recently, my doctor told me my cholesterol was borderline. I needed to eat more healthfully and to exercise in order to avoid getting put on meds for it. More importantly, I want to live long enough to see my son have a career and raise his own children. So, for motivation, I signed up to participate in the Corp 5k as a walker.

I’ll bet you have a similar story. Why not sign up too? I’m going to start training for the walk this Tuesday, Feb. 16 after work at 5:15 pm. Come join me and I’ll bore you with stories of my son. Or not.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress!!
