Inspiring post as always, Stephanie! Loved reading about your sis, and you, and all these bad-ass women. I have a couple of people who nudge me to exercise, which I definitely need. My dance instructor texts me to ask if I'm coming to class, and I'm signed up for Carrie Owerko's on demand classes. When she is doing a live class, I get a notification. Thank the heavens for nudges or I'd just sit on my duff all day and eat toast.

Hi Hilary! Yes thatā€™s a good point that sometimes a good old nudge is what we need too! I also realize that my husband helps me workout because I see him do it and I donā€™t want to be the lazy one in the relationship, haha! Are you going to artists way meet up today?

Blargh. No. I missed the get together because I double-booked. Hopefully theyā€™ll be another and we can both attend.

I loved this! It's great to read the things we were discussing and I am so grateful for the mention :) I love how we all have different motivators behind exercising and reading other peoples journeys and experiences with exercise. We are all really just trying our best :) x

Thanks for including me! Itā€™s been 5 days since my first marathon and Iā€™ve already started researching and planning for the next one because I want to train to beat my time. I still donā€™t know if I love running! šŸ˜…
