Time to conjure up a good New Year Resolution – something
attainable, rewarding, and motivating. Here’s one in which many of us might
participate together throughout the next six plus months, whether or not
you live close to Garrett: Resolve to train for and participate in the annual
Garrett July 4th two mile walk or 5k (3.1 mile) run, plus the before-and-after
pancake breakfast, plus the Cruise-In, all held at the East Side Park across from the school.
The breakfast cost is a donation, the
Cruise-In is free, and the pre-registration walk/run cost has been just $5 for
many years (which includes a free Garrett July 4th walk/run t-shirt), thanks to
the Garrett State Bank’s sponsorship
- so it’s relatively easy to bring children and grandchildren to walk and/or
run with you, should you and they be inclined.
I run in this event every year, and hope
that come 2013 you will run or walk with me – and better yet, with ALL the
others who come out, including a hoped-for lot of 2013 Resolutionary Newbees.
In the meantime, think how much fun it
will be to share this common goal with friends throughout the next six months!
And think about how much better you will feel after six months of regular walking
and/or jogging. This is a “race” you cannot possibly lose.
And if you live far away, and cannot get back to
Garrett for the Glorious Fourth
… Still, you can be connected in Spirit and in Cyberspace! Find a July 4th
event wherever you are, and share your journey and accomplishment through Facebook, Email, and/or Telephone.
YOU have MANY interested Garrett friends … Just
reach out, participate, and share!
