Week 8: Teamwork

TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More
 
JIM Team Trainer, Elise, David, Kathryn, JIM ON Manager.

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and
never win titles. 

Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. 

One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

- Micheal Jordan



Marathon Training

    The Joints In Motion (JIM) Ontario Team kicked off the start of our endeavor to physically conquer The Great Wall! Together we ran 6 km through a snowy blizzard in downtown Toronto. The run was lead by our Team Trainer, who has participated in numerous marathons and triathlons internationally.

Meet two my teammates:
  • Katheryn was diagnosed with Arthritis at the tender age of 3 and is preparing to walk a half marathon,  21.1 km.
  • David's goal is to run his first marathon, 42.2 km.

Elise's Update!
   After feeling stronger from my first outdoor run, I have decided to stepped up my challenge to complete a half marathon.
