Finding motivation doesn’t have to be hard. Yet we also know it won’t always be easy. The key is to understand when to up our game and when to ease up.

Too much is as dangerous as not enough.

Yesterday was my first Track meet since last summer. And if you count these two, they are the only meets since 2009.

When we stop changing, we’re finished.

I either lost the 800 M50-54 by a couple hundredths of a second or won it by that much.

Either way, the motivational fire has been stoked.

Hoping all of you are stoked too.

Keeping the embers hot so we feel the motivation to keep going

Two Black Lab puppies
Puppies really don’t fuel motivation, but they sure are cute

 

Comeback 2013 is in full swing today with this event – the Central Florida Gliders 21st annual Spring Track Classic at Lake Brantley High School.

The challenge is the 800 is after lunch, in hot humid Florida weather. Traveling business folk (like me) normally run before the sun comes up, with planes to catch and people to see.

Keeping the embers hot so we feel the motivation to keep going, no?

I mean absolutely no disrespect with this wellness post

Moved our “Lab” (cute), and are common sense (not cute)?

 

Yesterday…

Me: Would you like to go to lunch for some chicken nuggets (Chick-fil-A reference)?

Friend: No, I have pop tarts. I need to lose 20 pounds.

Me: Pop tarts?

Friend: Yeah, I’ve gained 20 pounds in the past year.

Me: (can’t recall the rest of the conversation because we quickly moved on because we were both pressed for time)

I probably said some dumb thing like “the new pop-tart diet, eh?”

Would we exercise if it was easier?

some thoughts, some photos, have us scratching our heads

 

Would we exercise if it was easier?

Astonishingly, I doubt it.

We say we don’t exercise because it’s too hard.

What we’re really saying is that we aren’t organized enough to rearrange our priorities to make time.

Time is the issue, not difficulty.

How hard is it to go for a nice walk?
