Do You Want It Or Not?

Diet, Exercise & Rest
Diet, Exercise & Rest

Every day is the same. We all have a ton of things to do. A ton of things on our minds. People clamoring for our attention. Deadlines. Bills. Chores. Routines. Obligations. Hope. Dreams. Worries.

Getting healthy and staying healthy are probably two of the most desirable on the entire wish list.

Do you want it or not?

Are You Bored With It All?

The Road To Excellence Has No End

Everyday is the same.

The same challenge to find time to balance all the competing demands on my time.

Bet you have the same challenges. In fact, I’ll guarantee you struggle with it.

I say the same thing, over and over again, on these five blogs.

This approach may bore you.

Therein lies one of the secrets to a well-lived life.

Never get bored with the basics.

Master’s National Championships 2010

If you’re interested in competing at the 2010 Master’s Track & Field National Championships, here’s a link for housing information. I know, no one cares about the housing information.

But we are a curious bunch, aren’t we? Is it human nature?

So, I’m banking on your curiosity. To click through and to follow where this Summer’s story may lead.

Staying healthy and having fun, for our entire lives, is one of life’s biggest challenges. A small injury can throw us off track. A Family emergency, or a long business trip can do the same.

Or, maybe a serious injury, like Plantar Fasciitis can last two years or more. Eventually things get better, if we don’t give up.

The next five weeks will be very interesting, and very tempting.

Yesterday (Not The Beatles Song)

Take Your Time, But Don't Wait
Take Your Time, But Don't Wait

Yesterday a friend said I was probably the only person who thinks running and sweating is fun. It was their response after reading a conference agenda that started the day with an optional “fun run”, in the Florida heat.

Sitting here writing this second of five blogs before I go for a five-mile run (yes, in the sweaty Florida heat), the fun won’t come soon enough. Partly because this is my “Monday”, meaning the past two days have been active rest days.

How can you become motivated to be focused and disciplined to feel the same way?

Man, wish I had an answer for you. Part of the root cause of my joy is the feeling I get when my clothes fit comfortably. When I can be active and not feel “old”. When I enjoy an ice cream cone without an ounce of guilt, like yesterday.
