Touching feet isn't so scary...

Just a quick message: 

I say this a lot, but I truly feel like I have the best job in the world.  Everyday I get to wake up and head to work to do what I love:  share the message and habits of both fitness and health with our customers.  The scariest thing I do in a day is touch feet - and that really isn't so bad at all.

But there a lot of folks who head to work everyday to do what they love and they see things a lot scarier than feet.

Fireman, EMTs, doctors, police officers, military personnel...

These are the people who run INTO danger when the rest of us are running in the opposite direction.

This week the Winston-Salem community has seen the danger that two of our officers faced in a simple call regarding a domestic dispute.  While Officer Clark is now recovering at home, Sergeant Hutchens continues to fight for his life at WFUBMC after both men suffered gun shot wounds.  This is a scary wake up call for all of us, and many of you know that for me - this hits a little close to home.

So whether you pray, dance, meditate, or sing...  please remember these families and the entire WSPD community as they recover from a tough week.

I love our servicemen and women...  they face a different reality on a daily basis.  They keep these streets safe for us to run, walk, cycle, and play with our kids.  I am glad that they are so brave - because aside from running, counting backwards, and touching feet - I am not so good with the tough stuff. 

Thank you WSPD - and thank you Winston-Salem for supporting our dear friends! - Coach S Batt
