Motivator

I work out with my wife every morning. We do a circuit at the YMCA or walk two miles before 6am Monday through Friday. Sundays are reserved for a 5K walk we do at a nearby park.

It is my favorite part of the day.

We talk about our days, what we’ve got going on, hopes, dreams, ideas, and more. It’s guaranteed time that’s just for us.

I wouldn’t do any of it without her.

I know this because I had plenty of time without her in my life, and I failed to do any of it.

Don’t get me wrong. I do not usually want to get up and workout. However, doing so constantly reminds me that every day, even if I’m busy or tired, I can do something small to take care of myself. And it’s something for just the two of us.

It’s easy to start, and it’s easy to quit. My wife is the constant.
