Your Fitness Quick Tip of the Week: Stay Fit with 'Miles That Matter'

While it is true... during the month June, I have been running a muck! I was playing with my oldest daughter, 28 (over the pond) as they say in the UK. We were celebrating not only her graduation from nursing school (at the top of her class I might add, said the proud momma) and from a very competitive nursing school at that. But that's not all. Just a few weeks later, we got news that she took and passed her boards with flying colors and received a job offer from Good Samaritan Hospital (which she took) and all at the same time... WOW! THANK GOD! In a couple of weeks she'll be officially on staff as Kaggin C. Grasso, R.N. Extraordinaire!

Then I was off to Hawaii to prepare to do a quick remodel on our new Kona condo before settling down to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary once my Jerry joined me (as I have already mentioned SEVERAL TIMES). Like Yeah - we heard ya the first ten times Candace. Rub it in why don't ya? I know, you're right, but it's all so surreal that we just keep pinching and repeating ourselves. It's as if by doing so, we feel that we are somehow insuring that it all doesn't just disappear! With our new Island home looking nice and cozy and our new furniture and art work in place... we have created a perfect haven for our Island getaways and for others to come, rent and enjoy a little piece of Hawaiian R&R as well.

While I've been buzzing all over the globe, I've never moved my finger from the pulse of the "Party Town" that is Pikesville, Maryland!

As a member of PowerBar's Team Elite, I keep my ear to the ground, listening for cool and interesting events. Not only for my clients to have reason to bump up their training and do something new but for finding worthy causes for PowerBar to throw their hat into the ring to help - by sponsoring these events with generous donations of products and gear. Though I am constantly approached by many worthy and interesting sporting events - I have to push for the biggest and brightest and those that involve the entire family WHILE BENEFITING the most worthy of causes: These are the ones that are always at the top of my list. In this case the "MILES THAT MATTER" really fit the bill - as they benefit the University of Maryland 'Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum' CANCER CENTER - now that's a reason to lace up your shoes and get a move on.

This year, Don't miss the - "MILES THAT MATTER/PIKESVILLE 5 K Run or Walk and a special One Mile Fun Run for our Children! A Walking and Running Fitness Event for the entire family to have fun and explore the world of fitness. There's even a short "Zumba Warm - up" to help you get your groove on! You really don't want to miss anything about this one. So, sign up... Bring the kids and have a ball!

The Event takes place at the Festival at Woodholme at 1809 Reisterstown Rd. 21208

I will be there taking pictures for my PowerBar family and "POSSIBLY" participating myself. Time will tell. But if you see me... come over and say HELLO or ALOHA... LOL, couldn't help myself!

(FYI - I am mentioning this race because I and my sponsorship company have deemed it worthy for a race in my personal locale. Where ever you may live, on any given weekend during the fair weather months, you can google till your hearts content and find races like this one. That involve the entire family and the benefit a great cause. Get on your computer and throw a dart...it's hard to miss one if you're really looking).
