Yesterday was National Women’s Friendship Day.
As a busy working mom, I felt like I rarely had time to see my friends.
Now that I’m a bird launcher (as opposed to an empty nester!) I make a point to schedule workouts with different friends nearly every day.
Mondays I see my friend Heather, Tuesdays I have my soccer friends and strength (we call our group the Hard Core crew!) friends, Wednesdays I have my track team, Thursdays are more soccer & strength, Fridays are my friend Tara, and Saturday mornings are long runs in the forest with Carol, Holly, Tiffany, Margaret, and any others who join in.
This makes for some incredibly fun time socializing, staying current on big and little events in each others lives, and celebrating birthdays.
Most importantly, it’s extraordinary accountability.
I don’t miss workouts because I don’t want to let my friends down.
I don’t miss workouts because I don’t want to miss out on the fun and camaraderie.
In return, I don’t miss workouts & stay pretty darn fit as a result all the while having fun.
I often think about not going due to missed sleep or too much to do, but then I know I’ll be sorry.
I believe deeply in this group power, which is why I’m launching a new group coaching program the first week of October.
If this sounds appealing to you or someone you know, just reply to this email.
Do you have workout buddies?

If not, shoot that friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with and see if you can’t schedule a walk or hike or run in the forest.
It could just be the start of a new fantastic weekly social (exercise) time!
Today’s video is how to think about exercise like medication…
Here’s to balance, strength, and accountability happiness,
