Part of my weekday routine, i get up at 6 a.m. and run a mile which is about 2 laps around my neighborhood. Then in the afternoon around 6 p.m. i walk a mile.
A few days ago a somewhat heavy set neighbor of mine asked if he could run with me because he wanted to get in shape before he started high school. Ok, i figured no problem a little company won't slow me down. The next morning he shows up with his mom and sister. They all woke up at 6 and ran with me in the morning, then walked with me later that afternoon. And now today, after a few days have passed, i've got about half of the neighborhood on a workout routine with me simply because one person noticed i run every day.
A bit weird considering i've never really seen myself as a motivator, once i get going, i'll just leave people behind.
And no this isn't a fail troll thread, this really happened over the course of the last few days.
