He’s starting, begrudgingly, to see the light

He (the high school freshman) said it was the first time he felt stronger. He is taking personal fitness as a required course. It was an important revelation for him.

A brief, but surreal moment

A brief, but surreal moment…

Sure, the sunrise was spectacular.

But the office window – looking in from the outside – stopped me in my tracks for a moment.

And i thought to myself, “This is were it all began. And this is where it continues to thrive.”

From the road the window seems ridiculously insignificant.

But it didn’t seem so in that moment on the roof.

i was about to break a promise

Orlando Fall foliage
Yesterday while running out of our neighborhood.

 

Disney University
About 3.5 miles from home to DU.

 

Disney's Contemporary Resort Convention Center
My old stomping grounds: Disney’s Contemporary Resort Convention Center.

 

Disney's Contemporary Resort
A crisp, sunny January morning.

 

Hours after a nine-mile run, and lunch, had the privilege to get a gym workout in too.

With a busy schedule, it almost didn’t happen. And i almost accepted my fate.

Spontaneous creativity happened, because i really didn’t want to break a promise to myself.

Felt amazing to not skip.

Eight hours of sleep two nights in a row.

Long time coming.

Must. Make. It. The. Standard. Not. The. Exception.

Barely a warmup

Colonoscopy prep schedule
The 15 year old self-managed yesterday’s prep for this morning’s colonoscopy.

 

Compromised and settled for a 3.5 mile run yesterday. It was raining, plus i needed wanted to be back in time to oversee the start of a teen’s medical prep.

Never thought there’d be a day when 3.5 miles hardly felt worth it. As if it was barely a warmup.

Interesting how life unfolds.
