IF SOMEBODY IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS RACE, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WELL, JASON, THIS IS THE 32ND ANNUAL HEALTH CARE FIVE K. IT’S THE LARGEST HEALTH AND WELLNESS EVENT FOR WORKPLACES RIGHT HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. WE’RE BRINGING TOGETHER 13,000 PEOPLE ACROSS 500 COMPANY TEAMS RIGHT DOWNTOWN AT LAKE EOLA ON A 3.1 MILE ROUTE. RIGHT. AND IN THE DAYS AHEAD, OUR MEAGHAN MACKEY, OUR TRAFFIC EXPERT, WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT WHERE THAT ROUTE IS SO YOU CAN AVOID IT IF YOU’RE IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN. BUT IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE MOVE THAT HELPS OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. BUT YOU WANT TO STRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH ASPECT OF IT, RIGHT? THAT’S SUCH A BIG PART. YES, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN BE SO BENEFICIAL █FOR MENTAL HEALTH. IT CAN DEFINITELY HELP REGULATE THOSE STRESS HORMONES LIKE CORTISOL AS WELL AS ADRENALINE. AND IT CAN ALSO BOOST OUR MOOD BY RELEASING ENDORPHINS INTO OUR BENEFICIAL IN TERMS OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE’RE GOING TO FEEL BETTER. BUT WE DO NEED TO DO ALL OF THIS SAFELY. SO YOU’RE MAKING SURE THAT WE’RE RUNNING RIGHT AND AND PUTTING ON THE RIGHT FOOTWEAR, RIGHT? DEFINITELY. YEAH. AND THAT’S WHERE WE TURN TO YOU GUYS AT TRACK SHACK TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF SHOE WILL WORK FOR ME. YEAH, OF COURSE YOU CAN COME VISIT US AHEAD OF THE RACE NEXT WEEK. IF YOU’RE IN NEED OF NEW SHOES. AND SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK IS A BENEFICIARY TO THIS RACE AS WELL. SO ALSO BUYING SHOES AT TRACK SHACK WILL DONATE TEN MEALS TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED. OKAY, SO LET’S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT RACE DAY AND WHAT THIS EVENT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE YES, WE KNOW IT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT’S COMPANIES SORT OF SHOWING THEIR PRIDE AND, AND COMPETING. BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT FOR YOU WHEN, WHEN RUNNERS AND WALKERS GET OUT THERE, IT’S EXCITING. IT ALIGNS WITH ITS MISSION, WHICH WE WANT EVERYONE TO LIVE HEALTHY, ACTIVE LIFESTYLES AND CORPORATE. FIVE K IS THE PERFECT EVENT FOR THAT. EVERYONE’S COMING OUT AND JOINING TOGETHER, CREATING CONNECTIONS AND REALLY LIVING THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. YEAH. SO YES, WE’RE, WE’RE MOVING, WE’RE HELPING BOOST THOSE ENDORPHINS AND THAT’S OUR MENTAL HEALTH. BUT THAT, THAT COMMUNITY TOO IS REALLY GOOD FOR, FOR OUR MENTAL STABILITY. YES, DEFINITELY. WE REALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENCOURAGE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH. AND THERE’S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO SORT OF EMPHASIZE THAT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS WITHIN OUR HOME SETTING AS WELL. ONE OF THEM IS JUST ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION. WE ALL DO THE STANDARD, HOW IS YOUR DAY? WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY? BUT WE CAN ALSO ASK, WHAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS FRUSTRATING THAT HAPPENED TODAY? OR HOW DID YOU FEEL PROUD TODAY AND REALLY BE ABLE TO EMPHASIZE THAT MENTAL HEALTH, WELLNESS. SO WE CAN NOT ONLY MODEL THAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BUT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE AROUND US AND OUR CHILDREN. I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT WE’VE STARTED DOING, YOU KNOW, READ SOME ARTICLE THAT I SCROLLED THROUGH ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IT DID SAY, ASK THE KIDS, WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF TODAY?

SO LET’S TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW THE STEPS THAT WE CAN ALL TAKE OUTSIDE OUR WORKPLACE. AS YOU MENTIONED, TO STRENGTHEN MENTAL HEALTH. AND MAYBE IT’S NOT, YOU’RE NOT READY FOR THIS KIND OF AN EVENT, BUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT’S TAKING A LITTLE WALK OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A FAMILY AND DOING SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? YES, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL ARE RIGHT. JUST PARKING A LITTLE BIT FARTHER AWAY, TAKING THE STAIRS INSTEAD OF THE ELEVATOR CAN BE REALLY SMALL STEPS. I ALSO ENCOURAGE DANCE BREAKS. SO TAKE TEN MINUTES, JUST DO A LITTLE DANCE BREAK. YOU CAN DO THAT ON YOUR COMMUTE. IT CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL AS WELL. I SEE ERIC WALKING OVER TO THE WALL TO DO HIS FORECAST. WE’RE GOING TO MAKE YOU DO A DANCE BREAK WHEN YOU START THIS FORECAST RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT? AND THERE IS STILL TIME TO SIGN UP.
