If you've ever seen the movie, you'll understand.  Its about a teacher who gives his class the assignment to think of something that they could do to change the world.  One student takes it to heart.  He creates a plan.  Do a big favor, something amazing for three people, who agree to in turn do a big favor for three other people, and so on, and so on.  The adults cannot believe it as first, but it takes on a life of its own.  Before long, people all over the world begin to pay it forward.  Every time I watch this movie, I find myself desperately clinging to a box of tissues.  It is one of the most moving films I have ever seen.  It just goes to show one person can make a difference.  

In writing this blog, it has been my hope to spread the word about health and fitness, to take what I have learned and experienced and, in my own way, pay it forward.  It is now September.  For obvious reasons, I won't be writing in  "onethousandmilesin2011" after the year ends.  I may still write in a blog of a different name, but I've promised my family it won't be a daily commitment.  And this certainly won't change my current fitness routine.  I am a different woman because of this life change.  

So, I ask you...as I come closer and closer to the end of my blog journey, to pay it forward.  Share health and fitness ideas and experiences with those you know.  If you don't know what to say, just share this blog and others you might discover.  Together, one step at a time, one idea at a time, we can change lives.  Together, we can change the world.
