Now that the Olympics are heading into the Track & Field segment, I’m super proud to be a partner to USA Track & Field! Borrowing my teammates’ credentials is the closest I’ll get to the action, but I’ve so enjoyed watching them bring the boom for our nation’s athletes the past couple of months!
And for the first event, do you think you have what it takes for 20km race walking??

Many of us have been watching the Olympics and are in awe of the determination. Some Decisions are Life-Changing.
Steeplechase runners know about facing obstacles and overcoming hurdles. They
expect them —literally —in their path.
Watching Kenneth Rooks win a silver medal in the men’s 3,000m steeplechase at
the Paris Olympics was exciting to say the least. If anyone can teach a lesson
about overcoming obstacles, it’s Kenneth.
In July 2023, he fell in the steeplechase race while competing at the USATF
outdoor championships. He rolled twice, got back and went on to win the race!

After winning the silver medal, he referred back to that race, “I think the lesson
that I learned is that it’s really important to just choose to keep going,” ... I made
that decision to get up and keep going.”
That’s what distinguishes a winner — the choice to get back up and keep going.
For anyone on a weight loss journey, that choice to keep going- despite setbacks
is an important response.
Just like a runner prepares for steeplechase by training for hurdles, you too can
anticipate and prepare for a sometimes challenging course on your weight loss
journey by keeping these things in mind:
Believe in yourself.
Find your rhythm.
Falls are inevitable.
If you fall down, you can get back up.
Learn from those around you.
Keep your eye on the finish.
Have others cheer you on!
There may not be an Olympic medal at the end or your weight loss journey, but it
can certainly be rewarding and life changing.
Weight loss surgery can help you stay the course, minimize trip up triggers and
help you anticipate and navigate obstacles with confidence. Weight loss surgery
helps you get in your rhythm and will help you cross the finish line.
We want to be part of the team that cheers you on! Decide to keep going!
