Before you go to bed each night, do you think about when you’re going to exercise the next day? Maybe you should. What would happen if you did?
So last night I asked cousin Mike, “Can you run a 6-minute mile as a 51-year old?”
“No, I can run a 7-minute mile”, Mike said.
I continued, “We’ll go 5 miles. First mile a warm-up, and then mile two as a time-trial. I’ll slow up (a lot) after that and you can catch up and we’ll run the last three miles together.”
Last week’s time trial netted a 5:45 mile. With splits of 2:55 and 2:50.
Remember when I was only running one mailbox per day? Good thing it never felt like a Green Mile.
It’s Sunday morning, not quite 7:00AM as I write this Lane 8 post. Two months ago I rearranged the office layout, so now my desk is against the opposite wall – the one with the double windows.
You know what this provides, different from when it faced the wall?
It provides the most enjoyable view of every sunrise. Like now.
It was a small change, although it was a fair amount of work because the desk is very heavy.
Small changes are often more work than we think. Same with diet and exercise. Same with blogging.
If you are interested in sharing your health and wellness thoughts, feelings, successes, challenges, Lane 8 is available on Sundays.
Email [email protected] or comment below. I pray someone will find the courage to seize this unique opportunity.
PS. Sometimes small changes don’t require much effort at all.
Happy Labor Day weekend from Orlando, Florida, home of world-class theme parks like Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
A three-day weekend is rare in my world. Visits from Family are not.
Cheryl’s cousin (also a runner) will be here, from Allentown, Pennsylvania by lunch time. Michael’s visit should offer some unique blogging material. Did you know that I write five different, daily blogs, not just Lane 8?
Weight loss and exercise routines are built over the long haul. All successful weight loss advocates have a similar story – they dreamt of a better way to live, they pursued their goal, suffering countless setbacks.
And their key to success?
They know overnight takes the rest of your life.
Just like becoming a New York Times, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble best selling author. Many of you already know how to easily navigate all five blogs. Some of you don’t.
In dieting or navigating, it all starts with a simple step or a simple click.
For a person used to running and going to the gym, the past two days where a tiring workout, even though they had nothing to do with running or the gym.

A Sanctuary, for cats. Exotic cats.
This morning, it seemed like a sanctuary for humans too.
