Say Yes to the Shoes

You may not be picking out your wedding dress today, but when you open your closet door, I hope you say yes to your running shoes.  Each morning when you get dressed, you're faced with the decision of which shoes to wear.  Will it be the flat loafers with the shining buckle, or the black pumps with the mid-range heel?  Maybe it's a good day for your favorite leather boots.  If it's cold, Uggs are a good option, but if it's warm, flip-flops will do the trick.  Whatever mood you're in, don't ignore your running shoes.  They are ALWAYS a good choice.

When you get those Nikes on your feet, unfortunately you won't have a room full of your best friends gushing and congratulating you on the magnificent choice you've made.  There will be no salesperson dressed in black with bright red lipstick there to reinforce your fantastic choice; no store manager will happen upon the scene to agree with you all.  However, if your heart, lungs, liver, brain, kidneys and arteries could clap, they'd give you a big round of applause for making such a fabulous choice.  Your fat cells may not be too happy, but if you're like most, you already spend enough time keeping them satisfied.  There's no better way to keep your circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems content than to get some good old-fashioned exercise.

So make your organs smile and LACE UP.  You take care of them and they'll take care of you!
