NEW ADVENTURE

It's been so long that I highly doubt anyone is following this blog (or any blog) these days. Hard to believe I started this one nearly 13 years ago. As you can imagine, a lot has changed in that amount of time. Personally, other than now having 2 teenage girls, I'm working towards becoming a health coach. I know you're probably thinking "What the heck is a health coach?" Think of it as any other kind of coach (running coach, life coach, personal trainer), but geared towards improving your health. Someone that can help educate you on living a more healthy lifestyle, help you set goals and keep you accountable.

Towards the end of this blog I began posting a lot more about following a Whole-Food Plant-Based diet and the changes I've seen. I really got into for health reasons and soon discovered all the environmental implications, along with the amount of animal suffering associated with our food choices. Not only that, but it became tremendously obvious that our current healthcare system is a complete mess. We're the most prosperous nation on the planet, yet we're one of the sickest. The system doesn't allow doctors enough time to do anything other than prescribe a pill to treat a symptom and then say "eat better and exercise more" as the patient heads out the door. There's a "missing link" in the system. Someone that can help educate the patient on how they can eat better and exercise more. All these things got me thinking, and looking for ways to become more involved and help spread this message through the platforms that are available to me.

I won't go into all the details here, but I just wanted to point anyone that happens to still be reading to my new blog Missing Link Health Coach. Of course, I realize that blogs are so 2000s and I don't even expect anyone to find it. However, blogs are what I have experience with and, if nothing else, it's an easy way for me to gather content in one place until I have a real website and/or hone my social media marketing skills into cohesive message.

Long may you run!
