Eliot Hill, with Associated Retail Stores, has found great motivation through working with The Apple ProgramTM. He has purchased a new road bike, has run 3 half marathons and has lost over 50 pounds!
"I want to express my appreciation to the Apple ProgramTM and my Apple Health CoachTM for the help and support that they have given me over the past year. With my coach's help I was able to set fitness and nutrition goals. Her advice to me was to eat five to six small meals each day and to get my exercise first thing in the morning. I started off just walking and before I knew it I started to run! My life has changed a great deal over the past year. I now look forward to getting out of bed each morning at 4 a.m. and running outside in our beautiful clean air. I have lost 50 pounds and I am looking forward to running several half marathons this year. I am 45 years young and I am in the best shape of my life. Life is wonderful when we help each other along the way. Health is everything to me because if you don't have your health nothing else matters. Thanks for helping me change my habits and improve my health as you have changed my world!"

Eliot Hill successfully completed the St. George Marathon this year with an amazing time of 3:41! Eliot said that at mile 20 he came to the top of the hill and then he "turned it loose" for the remaining 6.2 miles. With enthusiasm, Eliot said that he is ready to start training for his marathon so that he can shave off 11 minutes of his time and qualify for Boston. We are cheering for you Eliot!
