Happy National Wear Red Day

Hope you are all wearing your red to show your support for Women’s Heart Health, below is a great article with information.  

As some of you know I lost my mother & sisters to heart disease so my chances of having heart disease are high.  I started my Pink Turtle Movement & Health Journey 8 years ago because I knew I had to make a change with my health.  I walked my first half marathon May 25th, 2012, my mother passed away February 24th, 2012, I had already been training and some thought I was not going to continue on to do the marathon because of my mother’s passing, but no, it was more of a reason to do it.  I dedicated that half marathon to her and I knew she was by my side the entire way.  Every time I wanted to stop, I could hear her say “keep going”.   It has been a struggle with weight going up & down but as long as I work out I will keep my heart pumping and going strong, I love working out and there is no quit in me.  I’m so blessed to have all of you who have joined me on my journey as you started your own.  Let’s keep the movement going and continue on a healthy path.

End of Challenge Message

Good Morning Pink Turtles,

Hope you are all off to a great morning.

I can’t believe we are at the end of this challenge but not the end of our journey.  It has been wonderful walking with all of you and I hope you have all enjoyed the walks.  As mentioned on Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to walk to El Portal today have a snack/meal and celebrate together. Please let me know who would like to do this.  Please note we will still get a good walk in.

I would like to keep the walking going on Tuesday’s & Thursday’s, I think it would be great to continue.  The Santa Anita Derby Day 5k is coming up soon, if you have not registered and are interested please let me know, I will be closing sign-ups for this event on Friday, March 17th.  The link for the 5k is below.  I will be offering a circuit workout next Wed. March 22nd at 5:30pm in my back parking lot, let me know if you want to join.  Core Power Yoga will be offering some free yoga classes at the Chuan Spa which is located at The Langham Huntington Hotel.  The class is from 6:30-7:30pm, you will get spa access from 7:30-8:30pm, let me know if you are interested in attending so I can RSVP our group.  I’m planning a Soul Cycle Spin class soon, I would like to know how many are interested and if you are able to take a class on a Sunday.  There is also the Ronald McDonald House Walk which is scheduled for April 2nd, that one does have a registration fee of $25.00 but it’s for a great cause, the link is attached.

Let me know if you have any questions and Let’s keep The Pink Turtle Movement Going!!

To our health,

Maria
