Talk about a turn around in your life , Eugene Gaudet has absolutely done that . Always wanting to support his family meant working a lot and not always eating healthy . A quick trip to the drive through would fix that . With the smoking and the pop and juice it was an accident waiting to happen . When his Doctor told him he was pre diabetic Eugene argued that still didn't mean he was diabetic . His daughter convinced Eugene to go for a little run with her , it started out with a 1 minute run then a 1 minute walk . That may have saved Eugene's life because after that he quit smoking , cut back on his bad food choices plus quit pop all together . He was able to get off almost all the medications his doctor had him on for his health problems . Now he runs every Sunday at the Running Room and keeps on doing more and more distance . Listen to Eugene tell his story about how his life really changed and how he has big goals that we are sure he will indeed achieve . Inspirational and helpful both , you will not want to miss this episode . Here is a link to A Great Canadian Running Challenge , one of Eugene's favorite runs .
