Country Music Marathon – Opportunities To Meet Goals and Give Back

When a marathon comes to town everyone gives a little; whether a participant, a volunteer, a cheerleader, by donating to the various charities represented or rerouted due to road closures!

This past weekend Nashville, hosted the 11th annual Country Music Marathon, and despite the severe weather and risks of tornadoes 30,000+ queued up at Centennial Park to run, walk or wheel 13.1 or 26.2 miles.

As a participant it’s wonderful and extremely motivating to see all the cheerleaders and volunteers who come out and keep us hydrated and ring those cow bells!

I like sharing ways we can be involved in our community and I love that participating in a marathon is the ultimate in multi-tasking.  You can set goals and challenge yourself while raising money for your favorite charities or increase company or department morale by registering a team.

Gift ideas for the runners in your life include soothing bath fizzies, cozy socks and my personal favorite, foot repair lotions!  Mint, Tea Tree, Lavender, Aloe Vera and Chamomile are all great scents for the tired body… note that mint will get you a little boost and not the best used before bed.

Good luck with meeting and exceeding your goals this year!  Remember, it never hurts to treat yourself for a job well done!
