What's your obstacle?

__
ob·sta·cle/ˈäbstəkəl/Noun:A thing that blocks one's way or prevents or hinders progress.

    Saturday was a day of overcoming obstacles. I participated in a "mud run" with my brother and a friend currently in chiropractic school. This mud run was about 4 miles and filled with obstacles like climbing over an 8 foot wall, 20 foot drops into a lake, monkey bars over mud pits, crawling through mud under barb wire, and lots of other creative fun ideas the race directors came up with. Each obstacle was a challenge to overcome. At the finish line I was tired, but the feeling of accomplishment was great. Why would running through cow pastures and overcoming obstacles (the race is called FL Running Obstacle Course) feel so great?

    It feels great because it was difficult. Most things in life are difficult. It feels so GOOD when we accomplish them!

Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
- Virgil

    This quote refers to the patience often necessary to reach those goals. With most patients in the office we start out with goals to decrease pain, improve function, and achieve optimum wellness. It doesn't happen overnight. When it does happen, we celebrate.

    We are here to help you overcome your obstacles andachieve your goals, whatever they are. Here is a link to a great article on how chiropractic can help with weight loss goals.

p.s. On a side note I did pretty good finishing 5th overall in the race and first in my age group!
