Under Six?

One Is A World-Record Holder

“Ever worry about being too fast?”

This is usually not anything that crosses a runner’s mind.

And if you’re not a runner, think of it this way, “Ever worry about being too good at something you’re working hard to be good at?”

Um, let me guess, “No, it never crosses your mind.  Why would it?  Who doesn’t want to be really fast, or really good?”

Exactly.

Except.

Except when too much too soon could be detrimental to your long term success.

Heading out for a five-mile run.  I sure hope the fourth mile isn’t under six minutes.

Not yet anyway.

Health Blog At Lane 8?

Hello Lane 8 readers. Thanks for visiting again. Going to leave this post here for a little while. Please scroll down to read the today’s daily post.

Top Right Link Will Always Lead You
Top Right Link Will Always Lead You

It is now amazingly easy to click through all five daily blogs, without having to think or remember which order or how many you’ve already visited.

Simply click the top link under Blogroll, on the upper right-hand column. It automatically advances you.

Ever heard these phrases?:

  • Never get bored with the basics
  • It’s common sense, but not common practice
  • The road to excellence has no finish line

On a friend’s suggestion, I’ve simplified navigation between the five daily blogs.

It’s basic, it’s common sense, and just one more simple improvement.

Maybe you weren’t aware I write five daily blogs.

We need five daily blogs to optimize our lives, the same way we need these five to optimize our health:

  1. Strength
  2. Endurance
  3. Flexibility
  4. Nutrition
  5. Rest

Again, common sense, but not common practice.

For The Rest Of Our Lives?

We've Had It Backwards All This Time
We've Had It Backwards All This Time

Yep.  And this is not some ridiculous April Fool’s joke.

For the rest of our lives?

Seriously?

It sure would seem so, wouldn’t it?

The original tag-line I created was:

  • Dream Big. Get There. Stay There.

As you can see instead, it’s:

  • If Your Goal Isn’t Impossible, You’re Not Reaching High Enough.

Final answer?

Yes, for the rest of our lives.

Impossible?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

You know we’re talking about living a healthy, active lifestyle, right?

Show Off?

We're All Dying. Figure It Out.
We're All Dying. Figure It Out.

Here’s what happened yesterday. I wrote a Lane 8 blog post. Been doing that everyday for the past year.

Plus, there was You Tube video to illustrate what a slow and steady approach to diet and exercise can do.

The key to slow and steady is not quitting.

Ever.

One-third who read and watched were inspired.

One-third could really care less one way or the other.

And one-third said to themselves, “Showoff“.

Sad, but true.

Did Ja?

After reading yesterday’s Lane 8 blog post, did you think long and hard about your health?

Let me guess, “No.”

What motivates you at work?  At home?

What demotivates you at work? At home?

You can use your answers to figure it out.  And that’s the bottom line isn’t it?

Figure it out!

No one is going to hold your hand.  You are an adult, fully and completely responsible for your health.

Period.

Late yesterday, I was on the phone with a great friend. We spoke for nearly 30 minutes about really significant, life “stuff”.  He’s a great listener, and he allows me to verbalize dreams, goals.

I dream of you being healthier than you are now. And doing whatever it takes to be your catalyst for positive change.

Almost 51, I practice what I preach.  Take a look. This was two days ago. How many 51 year olds can do this?
