"After six weeks of doctor prescribed Aquatic Therapy for back pain, I found it very beneficial for arthritis, lupus as well as back pain. After finishing my six weeks, I joined the Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program. I enjoy going and hate to miss a class. I can tell the difference when I do miss."

"I keep improving, growing stronger in all the right places, and continue to be amazed at how the pain in my shoulders continues to go down. Thank you so much for seeing me back in April, and thank you for all that you have done/taught me. I cannot express how much I truly appreciate it. During and after my visit, my optimism and hope to fixing all my bodily issues was restored. Thank you so incredibly much! I can't wait for next high school season to finally swim with no pain and faster than ever."

Wow where do I start? Well at the beginning. I broke my ankle about four years ago and the weight just came out of nowhere. I always wanted to do a 5K race but nobody wanted to join me. I decided I will do it alone. Afraid that I would not make it to the end I signed up and the staff at the Cantrell Center were very helpful and got me on the right track. I started the couch to 5k and did the exercises that was given to me. Many times I wanted to quit due to the pain I was feeling in my ankle, but I continued. The day of the race I was worried that I would not make it to the finish line being out their alone but was I shocked when I saw a lady the lost her right leg. She took me under her wing and we limped and laugh all the way to the finish line. Although I didn't win just knowing I could do that race meant the world for me.

Is there a more wonderful way to spend a beautiful Saturday than with your family, of course there is, by participating in a 5k.  My husband, 17 year old son and myself all participated in the 2015 Cantrell Center 5k.  I bet my son I would finish before him, of course this was my inspiration to get him in the race. He beat me by 6 min and my husband beat me by 7 secs! We had so much fun Saturday, and are already planning our next one. We just wanted to say Thank You to everyone that helped make our Family 5k so much FUN!!!!!  We are looking forward to next year. Taking steps to make our health better!!

"Me run?  On purpose? Why would any sane, 40-something female begin running at this stage of life? And yet, this was part of the Cantrell Center Boot Camp program for which I had volunteered.  Was I crazy?  Perhaps; however, I survived Boot Camp and started running 5Ks.  Although scheduling issues forced me to put my running shoes away for a while, eventually I was able to pull them back out an fit regular running into my schedule. Fast forward to 2011... Not only do I look forward to running, I plan other activities around it.  Running has helped me lose 40+ pounds.  It also helps me distress and keep sane.  I have begun running longer distances and, two weeks ago, ran my first 12K.  And this past Saturday, at the 3rd Annual Cantrell Center 5K, I set a new personal 5K record! My future plans include participating in a Warrior Dahs and I am hoping to start training for a half-marathon soon followed by training for a full marathon! Me run now?  Yes!  On purpose!

"Had a great time at the 5K in Feb.  The shirts were a big hit.  The family and I ran the Cooper Bridge 10K in Charleston Saturday and I was asked several times where I got the cool shirt.  We wore them so we would stand out and be able to see each other at the finish, we stood out to a point everybody saw us.  Keep them loud, neon, and cool looking.  the fabric was awesome ,too.  Kept very cool, even on a hot morning running on a bright white bridge reflecting all that heat right back up at you."

A Note of Encouragement from a Runner Who’s Been There:

“Ever since I graduated high school in ‘94 I have been running. I can remember growing up. I was a small kid and I was picked on for being small. I couldn't play sports like football ‘cause of my size and I never had a chance to venture into other sports ‘cause I was ashamed of it. Now I'm a winner of countless races from the 800 meters to the marathon. All it took was one word of encouragement from a friend and ever since then I haven't stopped. I'm looking to become one of the nations top masters runners in a couple of years. I know how words can hurt.  I would like to say:  No matter how big, tall, short, or small you are, there is an athlete inside each and everyone of us.  You just have to let it out.

Coming to the Cantrell Center has been inspiring. The people here motivate me to push forward. The water aerobics instructor, Donna, the people in the class, work so hard and encourage me to stay and be healthy. Most important reason for my dedication to improving my health is basically...I want to live. I want to live to continue to love and be loved.
