Lesley Raines has proven that with hard work, sweat and determination, one can accomplish great things.

It’s easy to become wrapped up in everyday struggles, hassles and rou-tines.

Health problems, injuries and ex-haustion from work wreck havoc on the body and leave it feeling depleted.

Like many, Raines found himself in a tough situation.

He was tired, overweight and over-whelmed by doctor’s visits and medi-

cal bills.His weight surged to 300 pounds.

He developed a fatty liver, high blood pressure and arthritis.

“When I was installing floors, I was in pretty good shape,” said Raines, now owner of Lesley’s Floor Designs.

“I’ve been in flooring for 30 years and owned my own business for 22,” he continued.

An accident left him injured and in need of a hip replacement.

“I fell a good distance and hurt my lower back,” recalled the 53-year-old as he relaxed in a chair.

When asked how he was inspired

to lose the weight, Raines credited his friend Rodney Coffman, owner of Zone Fitness, as being the driving force behind his transformation.

Raines met Coffman when he was asked to install flooring at Parkway Christian Academy.

Raines’ grandson, Cade, attended the school at the time and he and Coffman’s son are still best friends.

It was at a birthday party that Coff-man suggested Raines check out his

gym.Coffman was aware of his friend’s

injuries and wanted to help.“It takes someone to believe in

you,” said Raines. “Without him, I’d never have done it.”

After hitting the gym, Raines no-ticed a drastic change.

His mental state had improved and he was delighted to find that his health had, too.

Raines’ blood pressure fell from 220 to 160 and he was able to cut his medicine in half.

“It changed my life,” said the avid Ole Miss fan. “My doctor was im-pressed.”

He acknowledged that Coffman was with him every step of the way, writing workouts, suggesting exer-cises and encouraging him to move forward.

“I’ve stayed with it and he’s stayed after me,” said Raines with a laugh.

The Alcorn Central graduate re-

vealed he really enjoyed the workout classes and he found them to be extremely motivating.

“You don’t want to be the one who quits,” said the Corinth born resi-dent.

Raines stressed that healthy change doesn’t occur overnight.

“It’s not just about losing the weight. We’ve all lost weight before. It’s about learning a new lifestyle to keep it off,” he said.

He offered advice to others who wish to improve their health.

“Don’t overwhelm yourself. Take it day-by-day,” advised the business owner.

“It becomes addictive once you start to see results,” Raines said. “The more active you become, the more you’ll want to get up and do things.”

Currently weighing in at 230 pounds, he still has a little way to go in order to reach his goal of 220 pounds.

His efforts are supported by his entire family. They include his wife, Linda; three children, Ashley, Ashley (there are two) and Justin; as well as three grandchildren, Cade, Caroline and Ava.

Since he has currently lost 65 pounds, Raines said losing weight is something each person must want for themselves.

A skipped workout or shortened session won’t make a difference to anyone else, he stressed.

“You’ll only be cheating yourself,” said Raines.

One lifestyle change for Lesley Raines is regular exercise.

Who has not heard the old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”? It may seem unlikely that one fruit could be so effective at maintaining good health, but apples really are a super food.

Apples are a member of the Rose family and are related to pears, peaches, apricots and plums. Though considered a fall fruit, apples can be enjoyed year-round thanks to commercial food production and importing.

Apart from being sweet, sometimes sour and refreshingly crisp, apples pack a number of nutritional benefits. Research has shown that apples can help to reduce a person’s risk of heart disease and help those with diabetes. In addition, apples can help fight cancer and prevent dental problems.

According to new information from long-running studies pub-lished in the British Medical Journal, eating at least two servings a week of whole fruit, particularly apples, blueberries or grapes, reduces a person’s risk for type 2 diabetes by around 23 percent.

Apples are high in many antioxidants and, as a result, this makes them especially valuable at fighting illness. For example, the disease-fighting compounds in antioxidants have been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers by neutralizing free radicals.

Apples also are very high in fiber. Fiber is needed to help a per-son feel full and can also regulate digestive function. Fiber also can help reduce cholesterol by preventing the buildup of choles-terol-causing plaques in the blood vessels, improving cardiovas-cular function and possibly reducing risk of a stroke as a result.

In addition to working their magic inside of the body, apples can have a noticeable impact on physical appearance as well. Apples are sometimes referred to as “nature’s toothbrushes” because they can brighten and clean the teeth.

An apple weighs in at under 100 calories per serving, making them a low-fat and ideal snack any time of the day. Because they are low in calories and full of fiber, apples can help men and women maintain a healthy weight.

There are more than 7,000 varieties of apples on the market today. With such variety, availability and health benefits, apples make a convenient and nutritious snack.

Many adults find themselves feeling drowsy in the hours after they eat lunch. A heavy lunch, a staid office atmosphere or a combination of the two can make professionals feel sleepy as the workday winds down. Though some might opt for a second cup of coffee, the immediate energy boost provided by caffeine quick-ly wears off, leaving men and women feeling even more tired as a result.

Oftentimes, the right mid-afternoon snack can provide the energy boosts adults need to stay productive through-out the workday. The following are a handful of healthy snacks that tend to provide a lot of energy.

* Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more people are opt-ing for this snack that’s rich in calcium, protein, phosphorous, and zinc. Tradi-tional yogurt tends to provide a quick energy boost, as it is generally easy to

digest, before that boost quickly fades. Greek yogurt is thicker than traditional yogurt, so it does not digest so easily, producing more sustained energy levels as a result. However, Greek yogurt is also loaded with protein, helping men and women feel fuller longer.

* Whole grains: Whole grain snacks are loaded with energizing ingredients, including fiber, iron, magnesium, and protein. Whole wheat snacks are also loaded with B vitamins, which help people fight fatigue and stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition, the body takes longer to absorb the complex carbohy-drates found in whole wheat snacks,

which means the body can maintain stable blood sugar levels for extended periods of time, and that leads to a long-lasting energy boost. White bread and simple carbohydrates provide an imme-diate, yet temporary, energy boost when people’s blood sugar levels spike.

* Almonds: Almonds are loaded with ingredients that increase energy levels, including vitamin E, phosphorous, vitamin B2, and magnesium, which serves numerous beneficial functions, including aiding in the production of energy and relieving stress and anxiety. Because they are rich in protein and fiber, almonds take longer for the body to digest, which means energy levels will stay up for longer periods of time than they would for those snacks that are easily digested. Almonds also contain healthy fats that curb appetite, making it less likely that men and women who snack on almonds will overeat and find themselves fighting the fatigue that’s often a byproduct of overeating.

Corinth women already know what travel experts are pre-dicting: Girlfriend getaways continue to be a popular trend.

After all, who doesn’t want a road trip with your best friends?

“Girl trips are so much fun – the fun that only girls can have, no matter what their age,” said Janice Knighton, a veteran of numerous girlfriend getaways from a Caribbean cruise to a Memphis day-trip.

Anne Thompson agreed. She heads to Birmingham, Ala., during the Christmas holidays with a friend who first suggested the trip to cheer Thompson up after her mother died.

“That was in 1998, and we have been each year since then,” Thompson said. “It doesn’t seem as if the Christmas season begins until she and I have made our jaunt to Bir-mingham.”

Whether it’s scuba diving or zip lining, indulging in a spa, eating and shopping in must-see destinations or getting inspired by art and architecture, girlfriend getaways are as varied as the friends themselves.

“Different friends bring on different experiences,” Knigh-ton added, remembering group flights to exotic vacation spots, all-inclusive bus trips and day-long walking tours.

But that’s the point – proponents of vacationing with

female friends say that where you go and what you do is less important than simply being together.

“Taking time with friends is so impor-tant,” said Jaylene Whitehurst, an artist and professional counselor. “Women tend to be more social than men. The way our lives our structured are now, it’s harder and harder to get that time with other women. We’ve lost the quilt-ing bee, the sitting on the front porch shelling butterbeans, when women connected and interacted.”

If women don’t take the time to nur-ture friendship, they’ll lose it. And it’s important not to lose it, Whitehurst said.

“When friends travel together, it’s kind of sacred-circle stuff, almost meditative in that you can’t really do anything else,” she said. “If you’re in the car together, it’s time to talk. We all have stories inside of us that we don’t tell because there’s no time when another person can sit there and ask you about it. When we take a trip together, it’s a making an appointment and setting time aside. We’re saying ‘this matters,’ to our friends and ourselves, too.”

Ready to plan your own girlfriend get-away? Here are some suggestions:

• “Sometimes one friend plans the trip and then tells us where we’re going, when, how long and how much,” Knighton said. “Another time, we all met at a restaurant and finalized our date and time to go to Las Vegas. Then we all called from one cell phone that we passed around to pay our own airline ticket in our own name.”

• Do you want to go hiking and be outdoors, explore a city’s historic districts, take classes or spend a quiet weekend catching up and relaxing? Choose your destination accordingly.

• Food organization is key. If you’re at

a lake or beach house or mountain cabin, each person can be responsible for a day’s meals. If eating out is part of the trip, make sure everybody plans for the extra cost when estimating expenses.

• “At first we relied on articles from Southern Living and word of mouth, but pretty soon we came up with our own itin-erary,” Thompson said about her annual trip to Birmingham. “If my friend likes it, I know I will, and vice-versa, so it is easy to agree. We go to the same restaurants each

Few, if any, families can say they have never had an experience with cancer. Cancer is a potentially deadly disease with no cure. While cancer can be treated effectively, there is no way for men and women to eliminate their risk of developing can-cer.

Though cancer may strike even the healthiest of persons, there are ways men, women and even children can reduce their risk. One such way is to consume certain foods that researchers feel can reduce cancer risk. Though precisely how these foods fight cancer remains a mystery, can-cer researchers feel they can effectively lower an individual’s cancer risk when combined to form a healthy diet.

* Beans: Beans boast numerous healthy attributes, and their potential to reduce cancer risk is one such attribute. Beans contain many phytochemicals that researchers feel protect the cells from the type of damage that can ultimately make a person susceptible to cancer.

* Colorful fruits and vegetables: It may seem odd that a food’s color can have an impact on cancer risk, but colorful fruits and vegetables contain more cancer-fighting nutrients than fruits and vegetables that aren’t as flashy. Consum-ing such fruits and vegetables also helps men and women maintain a healthy body weight.

* Foods with folate: Folate is a B vitamin that can reduce a person’s risk of developing several cancers, including those of the colon, rectum and breast. Those who are fond of a

healthy breakfast to begin their day may already be getting healthy doses of folate, which can be found in eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, orange juice, and strawberries, among other foods.

* Grapes: Studies have shown that resveratrol, a key ingre-dient in grapes, may prevent the type of damage that trig-gers the production of cancerous cells. Though scientists are not yet comfortable saying grapes, or beverages like grape juice and wine, can reduce cancer risk, they believe that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of grapes make them a healthy option.

* Tomatoes: Tomatoes are widely beloved, and perhaps that love affair stems from the tomato’s role in fighting cancer. Though the reasons are unknown, tomatoes have been linked to lowering men’s risk for prostate cancer. One such study, a 1995 study from researchers at the Harvard Medi-cal School, found that men who ate 10 or more servings of tomatoes per week reduced their risk of developing aggres-sive prostate tumors by nearly 50 percent.

* Water: Water may not qualify as a food, but it may pro-tect people from bladder cancer. Potential cancer-causing agents in the bladder are diluted when drinking water. In ad-dition, the more water you drink the more frequently you’re likely to urinate, which means cancer-causing agents have less time to come into contact with the lining of your blad-der.

Many foods can help individuals in the fight against cancer. Though one food alone may not be potent enough to do the job, when several cancer-fighting foods are included in a person’s diet, the effects may be significant.

Cancer terms to knowA cancer diagnosis can

be difficult to understand. When diagnosed with cancer, men and women are often told many things about their disease, and the terminology used can be confusing. The following are some of the terms those diagnosed with cancer are likely to hear in discussions with their physi-cians.

* Ablation: Treatment that removes or destroys all or part of a cancer. Ablation may also be performed to remove or stop the function of an organ.

* Adenoma: A benign growth starting in the glandu-lar tissue.

* Advanced cancer: This describes stages of can-cer in which the cancer has spread from where it started to other parts of the body. Cancer that has spread only to nearby parts of the body is known as locally advanced cancer, while cancer that has spread to distant parts is known as metastatic cancer.

* Basal cell carci-noma: The most common form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma begins in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis.

* Benign: Non-malignant and not life-threatening. A be-nign tumor is not cancer and will not spread.

* Biopsy: The removal of a tissue sample to determine if cancer cells are present.

* Cancer: A group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control.

* Carcinogen: Any sub-stance that causes cancer or promotes its growth.

* Carcinoma: A can-cer that begins in the lining layer of organs. The American Cancer Society notes that 80 percent of all cancers are

carcinomas.* Chemotherapy: A

cancer treatment option that employs drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is often used to treat cancer that has spread or come back or when there is a strong chance the cancer will come back.

* Five-year survival rate: The percentage of people with a given cancer who are alive five years or longer after diagnosis.

* Grade: The grade of a cancer indicates how abnor-mal its cells look under a microscope.

* Immunosuppres-sion: A state in which the immune system is weak and unable to respond the way it should. Immunosuppression may be caused by some can-cers or cancer treatments.

* In situ: In place, local-ized and confined to one area. A very early stage of cancer.

* Invasive cancer: Can-cer that has spread beyond where it initially began and has grown into nearby tissues.

* Lesion: An area of abnormal body tissue. This term may be used to describe a lump, mass or tumor.

* Lipoma: A non-cancerous tumor made of a fatty tissue.

* Localized cancer: Cancer that is confined to the organ where it started.

* Malignant: Cancerous. Malignant tumors are likely to cause death if untreated.

* Metastasize: The spread of cancer cells to one or more sites in the body.

* Recurrence: The re-turn of cancer after treatment.

* Remission: Complete or partial disappearance of the signs and symptoms of cancer.

* Sarcoma: Cancer that starts in connective tissue, such as cartilage, fat, muscle, or bone.

* Stage: The extent of cancer, which is usually as-signed a number from I to IV.

TThis July, five friends will embark upon a four hundred mile journey – a trip which will take them across an entire northern state.

Bruce Boyd, Missy Boyd, Lowell Blakney, Vic Marlar and Billy Napier will participate in RAGBRAI’s 42- an-nual bike ride across Iowa.

RAGBRAI, the acronym for Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, was recently spotlighted on “Small Town, Big Deal” television show.

It is the longest, largest and oldest bicycle touring event in the world, according to the show.

The ride begins at the border of Nebraska and ends at the border of Illinois. It never follows the same route.

“We start by dipping our back tire in the Missouri River and end when our front tire touches the Missis-sippi River,” said podiatrist Bruce Boyd as he prepared to see his patients.

The bike ride is a week long celebration that began as a challenge between two friends at the Des Moines Regis-

ter in 1973.Writer/copy editor John Karras challenged his friend,

Don Kaul, author of Des Moines Register’s “Over the Coffee Column” to ride his bike across Iowa and write column’s about his adventures.

Kaul agreed to make the trip, but only if Karras rode with him.

They enlisted public relations director Don Benson to coordinate the event. The trio invited readers as well as a few friends to tag along.

Thus, the tradition of the ride across Iowa was born. Tens of thousands ride bor-der to border, river to river each July.

Over 25,000 riders par-ticipated in 2013. Roads are blocked off to ensure the safety of riders.

Some cyclists ride alone, but most travel in teams.

Registration is now open for this years ride which will take place from July 20-26.

“We typically ride 65 to 70 miles a day,” said Missy Boyd, Bruce’s wife and riding partner. “We start at 6 a.m. and continue until noon or so.”

While most people camp during the journey, local Iowa residents do their part by hosting riders in their homes.

“We begin preparing about three months prior to the event,” Bruce said. “We start riding on weekends and bike about 450 to 500 miles.”

Lowell Blakney, a retired paper mill worker and former bike mechanic at J.B. Outdoors, was the first member of the group to ride in RAGBRAI.

He began in 1990 and was followed by Bruce in 1991. The two haven’t missed a ride since. Missy has partici-pated in two rides with Marlar and Napier at one each.

Blakney, a veteran rider, is no stranger to endurance. With back bicycle wheel in the Pacific Ocean and front wheel in the Atlantic Ocean, he has biked across the United States twice in his life.

“I once rode through an April snow storm in Texas,” said Blakney with a good-natured grin.

“The year before last, we started RAGBRAI at 4 a.m. because it was so hot,” explained the retiree.

“I thought I was dead. It was worse than the time I fell off the top bunk in the bunkhouse,” admitted Blakney as he rubbed the shoulder containing his scar.

Checking in at towns along the way, the group said the smallest town they’ve ever stayed in had a population of only 300 people, with 3,000 being the average-sized popu-lation they’ve encountered.

Windmills, corn fields and silo’s paint the landscape in Iowa.

“It’s a pretty state,” said Bruce. “It has great food and wonderful people.”

For the five cyclists, it is all the enjoyment of the ride and the life-

long friends they have met along the way.

“Two things we have better than anyone else, people and towns,” said RAGBRAI Director T. J. Juskie-wicz on the “Small Town, Big Deal” video.

The adventure sets the stage for a series of raucous events which take place across the week.

Mechanical bull-riding, water fights and “chicken poop” bingo – yes chicken poop -- are just a few of

the activities riders can take part in.Portable showers, slip and slides

and table massages are also set up for riders to enjoy.

Cheerleaders cheer on the road-sides, rooting bikes on and encour-aging them to push forward.

Food trucks, grills and tents hold a cornucopia of tasty treats, includ-ing homemade ice cream.

The group deemed the “pancake

Cyclists dip their tires into a river at the start and finish. Old school buses shuttle cyclists from place to place.

man” as one of their favorites.“He has this conveyor belt with

three or four dispensers set up in a barn every morning. It pours the batter, cooks the pancakes and

slides them on down the belt,” said Bruce.

When asked what advice they had for others who wished to tackle the great bicycle ride, one cyclist offered the following advice.

“It is a huge undertaking and can be a big party, but it is also a hard ride,” said Bruce.

The five cyclists are already gearing up for the event and look forward to spinning their wheels again in July.

year without discussion. We figure, why mess with perfec-tion? We concentrate on foods we can’t get around here: blin-tzes, peasant garlic soup, pots de creme, etc. We have several nurseries we visit each year for ideas and a few specialty shops. There are beautiful homes with unique architecture, so we pick a neighborhood and enjoy the homes, landscaping and decora-tions.”

• “A great girl trip is the City of New Orleans Amtrak train from Memphis to New Or-leans and staying at the Place d’Armes hotel in the French Quarter,” said Susanne Cooper, a fan of girlfriend getaways. “Another great trip is going to the Delta, staying in The Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale and checking out the night life

at Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club. Both of these are on my to-do-soon list.”

• Whatever your destination, don’t forget board and card games, magazines to share, a flashlight, bottle-opener/cork-screw and first-aid kit.

• And don’t forget your sense of humor. “One time we all went to the airport and there were about 10 of us lined up, all dif-ferent sizes and all with loads of luggage,” Knighton said. “The guy came by and asked what we weighed. We all looked at each other and the consensus was 150 pounds each. No telling what he wrote down!”

When trying to get healthy, men and women rightfully place great emphasis on diet and exercise. A healthy diet and routine exercise make a great team. Many people don’t exactly jump for joy when adopting a healthy diet because they may feel the diet must be devoid of their favor-ite foods to prove effective.

But a healthy diet isn’t necessarily one that lacks taste. In fact, changing a few ingredients is a great way to make some of your favorite dishes healthier while ensur-ing you still get to eat them. The following are a few ways to substitute healthy ingre-dients in some your favorite recipes, cour-tesy of the American Heart Association.

* Instead of whole milk, use fat-free or low-fat milk.

* Replace heavy cream with evaporated skim milk or a combination of low-fat yo-gurt and plain low-fat cottage cheese.

* Replace sour cream with low-fat un-salted cottage cheese or fat-free yogurt; fat-free sour cream is also a healthier choice than regular sour cream.

* Swap cream cheese with soft marga-rine that is low in saturated fat and free of trans fats and blend the margarine with unsalted fat-free cottage cheese.

* Use margarine that is low in saturated fats and free of trans fats when a recipe calls for butter.

* Choose egg whites instead of whole eggs.

But healthy eating goes beyond ingre-dients. Many people find it difficult to avoid all of those delicious yet typically unhealthy snacks. But even snacks can be healthy and provide an energy boost. All it takes is choosing the right snacks as opposed to those most readily available, which are often the most unhealthy.

* Replace potato or corn chips with pretzels or reduced sodium low-fat potato chips.

* Avoid high-fat cookies and crackers in favor of fat-free or low-fat options, includ-ing graham crackers, rice cakes, and fig or fruit bars.

* Choose angel food cake over devil’s food cake.

* Replace ice cream bars on hot after-

noons with frozen fruit bars.* When making pudding, make it with

fat-free or low-fat milk.* Opt for toast instead of a doughnut or

bagel.Fortunately, many restaurants have

started informing customers about the ingredients in their offerings, and some establishments are even obligated by law to share calorie information. Still, the AHA notes that there are ways for customers to go one step further and make the meals they enjoy when dining out even healthier.

* Replace cream-based soups with broths that boast lots of vegetables.

* Request melba toast, pita bread or whole-grain rolls in lieu of bread, muffins or croissants.

* Choose a baked potato or brown rice instead of french fries.

* Choose grilled chicken instead of fried.* End you meal with nonfat yogurt,

sherbet or fruit ice instead of a sundae or

ice cream.(To learn more about how to enjoy the

foods you love without putting your health at risk, visit the American Heart Association at www.heart.org.)

No one is immune to random bouts of fatigue. For many people, fatigue is most common around midafternoon, when the workday starts to drag and that hefty midday meal has inspired thoughts of catnaps.

Though an episode of fatigue here or there is likely nothing to worry about, adults who find themselves routinely struggling to muster any energy, whether it’s to finish a project at work or play with the kids at night, might be surprised to learn that boosting daily energy levels is relatively simple. The follow-ing are a few easy ways to boost your energy levels and make the most of each and every day.

* Get regular exercise. Many

adults know the value of exer-cise but simply can’t find the time in the day to squeeze in a little time on the treadmill or at the gym. But the Ameri-can Council on Exercise notes that as little as 10 minutes of moderate or vigorous exercise at a time each day can boost your energy levels and improve mood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recom-mend that adults get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of mod-erate-intensity aerobic activity, including at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities, each week.

* Treat yourself to a massage. Many people find their energy levels are adversely affected by stress. Too much stress can make you physically sick and

Simple ways to boost your energy levelsFor Lifestyles Plus

A low-calorie bowl of cereal in the morning can help improve energy levels throughout the day.

cause both physical and mental fatigue. There are many ways to more effectively cope with stress, and treating yourself to a massage is one of them. A massage can relieve stress and help overworked muscles recover, boosting energy levels as a result.

* Treat breakfast with the respect it deserves. When you wake up in the morning, even after a great night’s sleep, your body’s energy reserves are almost entirely depleted. Consequent-ly, men and women who don’t eat a healthy breakfast are almost certain to struggle with their energy levels throughout the day. Something as simple as a bowl of low-calorie cereal or some oatmeal with fruit can help restore your body’s energy levels and lay the groundwork for a productive day.

* Focus on maintaining steady en-ergy levels throughout the day. Lack-

ing energy over the course of a typical day might be a byproduct of your eating habits beyond the breakfast table. Numerous studies have found that eating three large meals per day is not an effective way to maintain steady energy levels over the course of a typical day. Instead, smaller, more

frequent meals coupled with healthy snacks can stabilize blood sugar levels and help maintain sufficient energy levels, improving both mental acuity and mood. Instead of a large omelet platter for breakfast, choose a small bowl of low-calorie cereal and follow it up three to four hours later with a healthy snack of fresh fruit.

* Drink more fluids. Your lack of energy might not be the result of an unhealthy breakfast or a lack of exer-cise. Some people simply don’t drink enough fluids to stay hydrated and feel sluggish as a result. Symptoms of dehydration mimic those of hunger, leading many to purchase unhealthy snacks when they might just need to drink more fluids.

Those snacks can compound the sluggishness you feel from being de-hydrated, zapping your energy levels even further.


Glacial winds ravaged Crossroads Regional Park, as winter continued to plague the city of Corinth.

Decaying leaves rained down with freshly fallen remorse, only to be swirled up once again.

The air, thick with frost made breathing quite a chore as it froze the lungs and weighed down the chests of those unlucky enough to venture outdoors.

While many residents huddled inside, refusing to journey out into the quiet morning streets, two local women braved the elements.

Doing so in the name of overall health and personal fitness, they let nothing stand in their way.

Bundled up from head to toe, Shirley Glidewell and Surobia Austin Heavener continued their walk as always.

The two friends chatted together

while keeping up a steady yet brisk pace in an effort to stay warm.

“It’s really cold, said Heavener “So, we have to keep moving.”

She showed no signs of ceasing her activity as she trotted along the winding pathway.

The 1963 Hardin County High School graduate gazed straight ahead as she spoke.

Her face was painted with a look of sheer determination as she focused on the task before her.

The walkers declined to keep up conversation due to the weather.

They stopped just long enough to have a picture snapped before falling back into their usual rhythm.

“We walk three days a week -- three miles each time,” called Glidewell over her shoulder as the two contin-ued on their way.

Never pausing to turn back, they traveled along the snaking path like two individuals content and focused on a single goal.

Their quick footsteps echoed from the sidewalks of the otherwise, de-serted city park due to cold.

An inspiration to others, Heavener and Glidewell serve to remind all that with a little motivation and persever-ance, one can accomplish their goals.

Without a doubt, these two Cor-inthians will keep up their weekly walking routine despite what mother nature has in store for them.
