Urban Spartan
![](https://communitygreen.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/spartan7.jpg?w=564)
So, yesterday I started the Spartan Life. That’s what I am calling my next chapter. You already know my health has forced me to swing towards better eating. Not that I was ever a fried food and gravy type, but there was and is always better.
Michael Taylor introduced me to TeamSpartanSpades in the Bronx and, if the creek don’t rise, I’ll do my first Spartan Race next year. In the mean time, I want to get my giddy-up on and build basic run miles. Look for future Spartan posts.

Get Outside
A 2009 study in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health found that, if you’re an urban dweller, the more time you spend outdoors around greenery (a park, a field, or even just a verdurous public space), the healthier you’ll be. The researchers note that those who have more green space close to home were at a lower risk for obesity, anxiety, and depression than those who lived in urban environments.
