endorphins make me go weeeeeeeeee!

just got back from a run and it reminded me of something i had wanted to blog about. last week i went to a When She Speaks event put on by Fountainblue. It's basically a leadership and entrepreneurial network group and always has speakers from large companies who have made it to high positions or women who have successfully started their own companies. this particular speaker panel was discussing how their athletic activities have helped them for success. most notably, one woman has run over 50 marathons and also run over 100 mile races. one of the races was 130 miles in death valley. DEATH VALLEY!!! when she first started running, she was 230 pounds and 38 years old. now she is lithe and strong, probably 40 something and has her own company. inspiring huh? there was an article hunny had forwarded me before talking about CEO's and marathons. there is a high correlation to running marathons and being a CEO. also study after study shows that people who are fit are happier, more productive, and more balanced in other areas of their lives.

plus the endorphins make me go weeee!!!!! weeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
