Wait! What? An Authentic Influencer.

By Ray Glier

This is the sunbeam Geezer Jocks need this morning. A she-really-means-it influencer.

At the end of these few paragraphs is an Instagram post from a 72-year old woman, who was a teacher in England. Christine Hobson started running marathons at 69 after she retired and started posting about it. Christine has run marathons on seven continents.

Her messages:

Stay capable.

Quiet Strength.

Move through the world without hesitation.

No doubt, Hobson has some professional polish on her posts, but they are lived experiences, not contrived. She has a quality about her that screams "now, not later." I have said this over and over about getting fitter: Don't wait for life to be perfect. She didn't.

Christine's post is short. It's fun. Take it in. Then think about fitness and it's impact on your daily life whether you are runner, walker, biker, thrower, swimmer, pickleballer, etc.

Just click below on "View this post on Instagram."

Or...click on this link.  Here is the fun and professional interview on This Morning to get more of Christine's story.
