This is what Kaizen is all about! The 3 people who lead our group where not there tonight. That didn't matter though. There is always someone there to step up and take the lead! We are all equal and work as one! Krystle Partido stepped it up tonight and led the group with an amazing speech before the run! She is a true leader and always encourages her family and friends to do better! We are so thankful for her and appreciate her leadership! Here is her speech:
"Good evening, everyone! First off, I just wanna say thank you for showing up tonight. Whether you're running, walking, just getting started, or you've been doing this for years, every single person here belongs. Our club is called Kaizen, and that name carries a powerful meaning. It's the Japanese philosophy of becoming 1% better every day. Not by making huge, impossible changes, but by taking small, consistent steps that add up over time. That's what tonight is about. Consistency, persistence, and discipline. Consistency is showing up, even when you don't feel like it. Persistence is refusing to quit when things get hard. And discipline is choosing to do what's good for you, even when motivation's not there. You don't have to be the fastest person here. You don't have to set a personal record every week. You just have to keep moving forward. Every mile, every step, every walk, every run, it all counts. Every time you show up, you're investing in becoming a little stronger, a little healthier, and a little better than you were yesterday. So tonight, don't compare yourself to anyone else. Compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. If you leave here even 1 percent better in your fitness, your mindset, or your confidence, you've already won. Let's encourage each other, cheer each other on, and keep building this community, one step at a time. All right, Kaizen family, let's get out there and get 1% better today!!'
We meet every Tuesday night at 6:15 at Cedar Heights Elementary to do one lab around. Any and everyone is welcome to join, and at any fitness level. Its just all about improving ourselves and coming together as a community to move our bodies. We would love to have you next Tuesday 💪🏼
