I often get questions about my workouts and nutrition choices. Why do I workout? Why do I keep myself so healthy? What's the point? This weekend an event happened that will hopefully shed some light on those questions and whatever else someone might have.
Saturday night my wife received a phone call from her Mom letting us know that we were in a tornado warning. For those that don't know, a warning means that a tornado has been sited and everyone should take cover. So that was what we started to do. My wife grabbed our 3 month old son out of his crib and I ran into the girl's room to wake them up and get them downstairs. Both my girls can be very sound sleepers and trying to get them up and going was not an easy task. I worked on my oldest (9) first. After some coaxing, she finally woke up and headed downstairs where my wife was waiting. My youngest daughter (7) was a different story. I could not wake her for anything so I finally reached over the guard rail on their bunk-bed and proceeded to lift her up and over and carry her downstairs.
It's times like this, that make working out worth it. I hate to think what might have happened if I was not able to lift her up and get her downstairs.
To wrap up the story, we huddled in our half bath downstairs until we received the all clear. No tornado's went through our area but surrounding areas got hit pretty hard that night and again yesterday.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.
One Life to Live
