From KT – June 6, 2012
Yo DaVitans,
I hope you are all doing well in our shared Quest for Better Health. Today I have to do a quick one. I got up at 5:30 but was only able to get in 22 minutes of medium intensity on the bike and 3 minutes of stretching (not much, but every little bit helps, and when it is one type of stretch only 3 minutes can do some good). So not good. I hope my hamstring returns to normal soon.
The good news is that I skipped dinner last night – was just too busy to get hungry, and that rarely happens.
Then phone calls all day today until I caught the plane to New York from Denver. We will have meetings until about 11 pm tonight preparing for a big presentation on our new partner HealthCare Partners tomorrow – will be lots of investors in the room. After the big presentation there are small breakout sessions for the rest of the day including lunch, and then I will have dinner with the Lead Director of the DaVita Board.
I hope many of you have been able to visit some of the wonderful National Parks in person – I love visiting them, they are treasures. The United States was the first country in the world to do that kind of land preservation, going all the way back to the time of Teddy Roosevelt, maybe even some of it just before him.
All the Best! KT

KT,
Thank you for investing in us in this manner. I signed up last week and have worked out every day since. I am starting each day with at least a 30 minute walk. When I find myself coming up with reasons to skip a day I ask myself, “do I want to use one of my 12 passes today?” The answer is almost always no. The progress on the map is motivating as well. On behalf of a soon-to-be healthier Village, Thank You!
