Baptist Employees Running and Walking to Fitness

Last weekend hundreds of Baptist Health System employees walked (and ran) 3 miles to raise funds and awareness for heart disease at the American Heart Association's annual Heart Walk. It was a big success and a very enjoyable morning. Baptist also took home the much coveted Spirit Award for the 2nd year running. See Photo Gallery.

This weekend (Sunday, November 15) many of us will run the San Antonio Rock N' Roll 1/2 marathon and full marathon. Graham Reeve, President & CEO, Michael Zucker, Chief Development Officer, Elisa Ellington, Executive Assistant, and Bramer Owens, Director of Ambulatory are just a handful of Baptist employees taking part and we've been excitedly sharing training tips and gearing up.

This truly is an energizing event and helps to raise awareness on how we can all incorporate fitness into our life and make it part of our lifestyle. I participated in the 1/2 marathon last year and will do the full this year. As a first time marathoner I'm so looking forward to joining the crowd (31,000 runners) and our Baptist runners. It's an amazing feeling to run with so many people. If you're planning on going as a spectator please lend your support to the runners and give me a wave if you see me. I'll be in the Running for Mindy t-shirt.

If you're planning on running be sure to check out the route map and these helpful tips from Runner's World. Stay hydrated and keep safe. Happy Running.
