Howdy, Kids, from Lori Bell! I have some exciting news that is also kind of scary for me, but I am committed. Here’s what’s happening:
On Saturday, March 16, I am walking a 5K event in support of youTHink and the Zimmer Children’s Museum! Yes, I am going to walk in a real Marathon, because I really believe in supporting the great work being done to create a special museum just for KIDS (of all ages, of course).
So, my part is to get people to sponsor me (which I have done–that was the easy part) and then make the long walk. The challenge now is actually DOING IT! I have been working out and exercising as often as I can. Some days when I feel tired, I remind myself that I have to get moving so that I can build up my stamina. Yesterday, I rode a bike for 20 minutes and that was all I had time for. But at least I did SOMETHING — and I felt GREAT afterwards!
I will let you know how my “Big Walk” goes, kids! Wish me luck. And please remember: No matter how tired you think you are, you can always do 20 minutes of exercise to get your blood flowing. You can rest well after that!
Hugs from your “Walk-Buddy,” Lori Bell, in Sunny Southern California
