HAPPY NATIONAL EMPLOYEE HEALTH & FITNESS DAY            

Today is National Employee Health & Fitness Day, so be sure to take advantage of any wellness offerings that your company provides.
Founded in 1989, National Employee Health & Fitness Day has enlisted tens of thousands of participants from employers around the world.
Worksite wellness activities have been demonstrated to benefit not only the individual employee but the company as well. Since many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work, it makes sense to incorporate health and fitness into our work cultures.

I'll be participating in the 1 mile walk around the Ft Worth Motorola Facility at 11AM.

So if you run the mile will they take points off? I guess you need to start somewhere...take it easy out there don't hurt yourself.

MArc - our site did that too. I totally forgot that it was today. I can't believe it is the 20th of May I guess.

It was awesome. They had a cooler of water, towels, yogurt and muffins...all that for a 1 mile walk! :-) They did give away some raffle prizes -- I won a coffee mug.
