This weekend, a small but mighty group of runners from our corner of Northwest Indiana is heading to the Chicago Marathon, and we're cheering them on every step of the way!

Months of early mornings, sore legs, long runs and questionable life choices have led to this moment.

To everyone running: Trust your training, stay hydrated, fuel up and enjoy every mile. You've earned this!

As for the rest of us? Here's your friendly reminder that you don't have to run a marathon to take care of your health.

🚶 A walk around the neighborhood counts.
🚴 A bike ride with the kids counts.
💪 A little strength training counts.
❤️ Finding movement you actually enjoy? That counts, too.

You don't have to go 26.2 miles. You just have to keep moving.

Good luck, runners! Northwest Indiana is rooting for you!

The numbers are staggering. That means that TODAY an average of 1,048 women across the United States will be likely diagnosed with breast cancer. Your health is important. Your mammograms are important. Taking anything that seems off is important.

Speak to your physician. Get your checkups. Early detection is so critical!

It's International Coffee Day, so yes, we're giving you permission to enjoy that cup. Maybe go hit a local coffee shop wherever you're at today.

Coffee gets a bad reputation sometimes, but for most adults, moderate coffee consumption can absolutely fit into a healthy lifestyle.

A few friendly reminders:
☕ Your caramel-drizzled, whipped-cream-covered creation may technically be more dessert than coffee. Still delicious.
💧 Coffee doesn't replace water. Nice try.
😴 If your 4 p.m. cup has you staring at the ceiling at midnight, your body may be trying to tell you something.

Otherwise? Pour a cup. Enjoy it. Maybe even drink it while it's still hot for once.

Turns out, superheroes really can be good for you. Okay, reading Spider-Man probably won't give your kid superhuman reflexes.

HOWEVER, reading can help kids:
📚 Build vocabulary and language skills
🧠 Strengthen learning and cognitive development
❤️ Explore emotions and develop empathy
💭 Exercise creativity and imagination
👨‍👩‍👧 Build stronger connections when families read together

Yes, comic books count. If superheroes, graphic novels or silly stories are what get your kid excited about reading, let them love it.

Healthy kids need good food, movement, sleep and regular checkups. Growing minds need stories and imagination, too.

Happy National Comic Book Day from Leestma Healthcare!

It'll be here next month, but we're starting early because it's important. There's no sugar coating it - breast cancer is a brutal and gruesome disease that affects 1 of every 8 women and 1 of every 1,000 men in the United States. Please, speak to your doctor, even if that's not us. Get your mammograms on schedule. This is a serious disease and early detection is critical.

Turns out, being a good friend is pretty good for you!

Strong social connections are associated with better physical and mental health, and having people we can talk to, laugh with, lean on and simply spend time with can help us handle the stressful parts of life a little better.

The best thing about friendship? It works both ways.

Call the friend you haven't talked to in a while. Invite someone to grab coffee. Check on the neighbor who lives alone. Sit with the new parent at soccer practice. Send the ridiculous meme that made you think of somebody.

It doesn't have to be a grand gesture. Being there for someone is good for them. Having someone to be there for is good for you.

Putting this to the top of your feeds, because it's important.

Not every day has to be your most productive day! Some days you crush the workout, make dinner from scratch, drink all your water and somehow remember every appointment on the calendar.

Other days? You put on comfy clothes, eat something warm and consider getting to bed a little earlier.

Both days count.

Taking care of yourself doesn't always have to look like doing more. Sometimes it's getting enough sleep. Taking your medication. Eating an actual meal. Stretching the sore thing you've been ignoring. Putting your phone down for a while, or simply giving yourself permission to have a slower day.

So if today's gray skies have you moving at about 70% speed, that's okay.

Take care of yourself in whatever small way you can today. We'll call that a win.
