This week, the New York City Marathon was run, and Joy Johnson died. Why are those two things connected?  At 86, Joy Johnson completed her 25th consecutive New York City Marathon.  She fell at Mile 20 and struck her head.  The next day, she laid down for a nap and didn’t wake up. You can read the story in any number of news outlets. I bring it to your attention because it is a remarkable story about a remarkable woman who lived her life fully and never stopped moving.

There are a lot of people in their 50s, 40s, in their 20s, even in their teens who have already stopped moving.  Don’t be one of those people. Remember Joy, running an 8 hour marathon at 86 and going out on her own terms.  Live a life full of joy, full of energy, passion, and desire to be out there in the world. Whatever age you are, be inspired by someone who never stopped running.
