No one cares about our mundane details

Walked many a mile each day this past week, without orthotics.

 

Note: i’m prepared to abandon what i’ve done for 12 years in an effort to discover if there’s a breakthrough that could happen by letting go of what i think i’m supposed to do (and have done).

Booked a checkup with my podiatrist yesterday while waiting at LAX for an 8am departure to Walt Disney World. Why share this when no one cares about our mundane details?

To remind myself how important our mundane details are. Otherwise it’s incredibly enticing to believe our mundane isn’t important.

It will be a week before i can see Dr Wagner, the earliest available.

The tiny cyst can cause excruciating pain. Hopefully it won’t debilitate my running before it’s removed. Also want Dr Wagner’s advice on eliminating custom orthotics after 12+ years.

So much intentionality in one simple decision

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
No, didn’t run this one, but did run near it.

 

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
It was fun to run anywhere i wanted.

 

Knowing i wouldn’t be running today (Monday) because of the cross-country flight, i ran yesterday; a rare Sunday run. Only 3.5 miles, super slow, reconditioning my feet to thrive with0ut orthotics.

So much intentionality from something so routine.

Yesterday was also the Disneyland Star Wars half-marathon. It was fun to run amongst so many other runners and walkers. The force was strong.

Head North if you aren’t planning on running

One night (last night) here.

 

 

Wasn’t here to run the Disneyland Star Tours 5k, 10k, nor this morning’s half-marathon.

After downloading photos and writing five blogs, we changed hotels (Grand Californian wasn’t available last night), we headed north to Hollywood for the day.

While this blog is about our physical health, it’s helpful to remember that having “rest days” is part of the formula for wellness.

He doesn’t understand entrepreneurship yet

Disney Leadership Conference Speaker
Near the end of yesterday’s three-miler.

 

He doesn’t understand entrepreneurship yet. As we relaxed in our Disneyland Hotel room yesterday afternoon, i explained how entrepreneurship allows you to do things on your own terms.

For example, travel and work can go hand in hand. And because of this, much of your travel becomes a business expense and revenue opportunity.

Explained it to him in more detail than here, and for now i just wait for it to sink in as he decides what he wants to do with his life.

He got another taste of 12 hours door to door

View from our balcony.

 

He got another taste of 12 hours door to door yesterday as we left our Orlando home at 7am and unlocked our Disney’s Grand Californian Resort room door at 7pm (EST).

Casually, as we rode the Disneyland Express motor coach, i painted the picture of how it is for professional speakers and the glamour of traveling for a living:

After a 12-hour travel day, you still need to get dinner and do an AV check before going to bed.

So where does exercise fall into the agenda?

Plan your rest (inactive) days to coincide with travel days. Or, simply take an extra rest day that week.
