I love country music

Well, I do.

But that's not exactly the point of this post.

Around this time last year, I was in Nashville for a professional conference. I woke up in the morning and the Country Music Marathon was on tv. It was really inspirational.

In fact, it was one of the things that helped me remember my new year's resolution to run a marathon and it helped get me to the shoe store so that I could buy some good shoes. They ran that race today this year. And I feel grateful that I was in Nashville last year at the right time to be motivated to get in better shape.
