Masters Track

Yes, Masters Track.

What do you do to stay motivated to reach and maintain your health goals?

Someday. maybe swimming. Or perhaps I’ll try Filed events, like the Discus, Shot Put, or, heaven forbid, the Pole Vault.

Whatever it takes. That’s one of the secrets to staying healthier. I figure everybody knows this, but it never hurts to say important things over and over.

Does it?
