Lane 8 In Fancy Hotel?

Okay, so yesterday was a video of Jack the Bear in Mexico. And today we find Jack in Dallas (different trip) at a nice place.

It was 20 degrees the next morning and I found the willpower to run outside at 7:00AM. I used a pair of socks for gloves and had four layers on my upper body.

No sweatpants though, which took me back to the winter days in Pennsylvania, when a few of us would run distance runs in the snow and freezing temps, sans sweatpants.

Even found the willpower to do a core workout in the Hotel gym the night before, even though I was tired from travel.

So, here’s Jack commenting on where we stayed:

Yes it was a fancy hotel. And yes, Jack watched TV while I worked out and also when I ran in 20-degree temps. Not only is he one lucky bear, but he’s also very smart.

Lane 8 Celebrity?

Yes, and it’s not Tiger Woods. Then who?

Jack the bear.

Jack the bear?

Yes. Jack is our son’s teddy bear. Our son (9) has three of the exact same bear – all gifts from family. Fischer Price made this bear years ago, and on his collar, Fischer Price named him Jack.

Jack was my Dad’s name. My Dad never met our son. He passed away from early onset, rapid progression Alzheimer’s disease in 2001.

Anyway, our son lets me travel with the one with the torn ears.

What started as a cute little idea to help me feel connected to our son while I travel the globe, has turned into something a little more. Jack is starting to report on his impressions from some of these places.

Here’s a quick one from Mexico. Take a look:

What does this have to do with exercise, fitness, health and wellness? If I have to explain it, it won’t make sense, but it revolves around balance – the whole person, not just the body.

Sick

Hello Lane 8 readers. It’s 3:30PM here in Central Florida. It’s also Friday. Woo-hoo!

However, I’m sick and just woke up. There may be a post here later today, but it’s doubtful. Need to fall back to sleep.

Sleep is a great painkiller.

For now, thank you for visiting and wishing you a great Friday, full of good health and a good workout, and good choices with your food, and your rest.

Workouts are anything that challenges you to use your body at least a little more than usual. As simple as parking in the back of the parking lot versus the front.

Caution This Is Most Contagious

Drumroll please……

Wait. But first, let’s just make sure we’re all on the same page. Two days ago was the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, and the topic of yesterday’s post.

But today’s Lane 8 blog post is not about John Lennon, it’s about motivation.

It’s also about the number one most contagious thing (and greatest success factor) in the world when it comes to motivation.

Are you ready?

Okay, back to the drumroll. Drumroll please…..

The number one most contagious thing in the world is…….ENTHUSIASM!!!!!

Can you hear the echos of some people saying, “That’s it? That’s all you got? You’re wasting my time!”

And others, “Yes, that’s exactly it. Try to do anything well without a mountain of enthusiasm. Seriously, go ahead and try.”

What works best for you?

Imagine John Lennon

Can you imagine John Lennon as an athlete? I can, but it doesn’t seem he ever was. His travel schedule was hectic to be sure, at least for much of his life with the Beatles.

So maybe he had an excuse – world travel.

Can I use it too? Oh, and let’s see, may I also use some of these?:

Too busy with work
Too busy with school
Too busy with the kid(s)
Soon as the weather gets nice
Starting January 1
I can’t find an exercise I like
It’s too dark
It’s too cold
I can never see results (fast enough)
It’s too hard

Not exercising didn’t kill John Lennon, but it certainly may contribute to my death.

Do you ever think about stuff like this?

PS. Tomorrow, we revisit yesterday’s blog post and reveal the number one most contagious thing in the world.
