Why?

1. Why am I participating in this race?
2. Why am I blogging
3. Why is it raining outside?

1. Its part of our Company's Project Wellness program. Project Wellness is a voluntary program at our Company. Its purpose is to promote camaraderie, personal accomplishment and the mental/physical well-being of each participant, while recognizing personal capabilities and differences.

"Participants are required to select a personal goal that can be completed within the program's timeframe and submit online status reports on their progress.

Acumen Solutions affirms our core values of Teamwork and Anything Is Possible. Project Wellness provides another opportunity to support our core values and emphasizes that Our People Matter."

Members of our UK office are taking part in the The British 10K London Run. I was originally part of this race. However, since I'll be back in the US (where I hear its not raining), I won't be able to make The British 10K London Run. So, I had to do something! Especially since our names were announced during a couple of company meetings that we are participating. Plus, I have been given a running shirt to wear for the London Run! Yes, I felt guilty that I had committed to race and would not be able to run in it with my colleagues. Guilt is a good motivator!

2. Because I know you're reading this, and I hope your encouragement helps motivate me. Plus, I hope my posts being a smile to your face.

3. Because thats where the clouds are.
