Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.
Pushing through leads to the other side.
Booked the Lyon, France Hotel yesterday (this is a big deal milestone).
It took a decade of progress to compete in the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships.
It’s taken six more years (16 total), to get another shot at it.
This time with healthy feet.

In each photo, catch the first (shorter) blue horizontal line – the mile times…
The night before, i was all excited about running in the morning. But when the morning came yesterday, it was really humid, and i just wasn’t feeling it, blah, blah, blah. Plus the time pressure of having an early High School tour.
But then, a runner. He unexpectedly came from behind and passed me as i finished the first warmup mile and stopped to stretch.
He was several hundred meters ahead when the stretching was done and i decided to see if i could catch him – slow and steady of course.
While the 6:06 split was nice, i had this crazy notion of trying a second attempt to go sub-six minutes. Had never attempted it because i thought it was impossible.

Tens days of Amoxicillin ended last night.
The ebb and flow of staying healthy is constant and challenging enough to exhaust our will to stay with it.
Being healthy increases our determination to succeed.

Progress, even slowly, is still progress.
An official USA team top is required for all Team USA competitors. Ordered it yesterday at the request of the organizers.
Looking forward to getting back on the track (sidewalk) again tomorrow morning.

We are given setbacks to keep us honest.
Yesterday’s track workout was the first in 11 days. And this morning is day nine of a 10-day Amoxicillin prescription.
To lose 11 days speed training with two big track meets in the next two months is a decent setback.
Am grateful it wasn’t from an injury, which might make competing in Nationals and Worlds out of the question.
