Daily creativity is under rated

Windermere Prep School signage
This morning before sunrise.

 

In order to run before sunrise i had to postpone writing until mid-morning – while our son was at the Dentist. Writing this post in the waiting room is less comfortable than in my second floor office facing east, and facing the daily sunrise.

Because i knew in advance this morning would be challenging, i had already prepped myself for working differently.

By the way, the 8-miler (before sunrise) was nice and easy and included 800 meters of walking on either end.

Hot, still, humid air can flood our ambition

September sunrise near Walt Disney World
Yesterday, 30 minutes of walking before sunrise.

 

Even though it was dark when i walked down the driveway to begin a Monday morning run yesterday, the air was anything but cool.

First i said, “i’ll walk 800 meters to warmup, get loose, and get motivated”.

At 800 meters, i extended it to a one mile warmup walk, and even before the first mile was done, i knew what was going to happen.

i was going to say, “i don’t feel like running today. i’ll just do the same amount of time, but walk instead of run. It will be good to cross-train”.

Every avid runner struggles with the same things every other (rookie) runner struggles with.

Weekends were made for Michelob

weekend bicycling
Yesterday, a Saturday, at school.

 

Weekends were made for Michelob. A 1977 commercial and it’s tag line made me think about a similar tag line:

Weekends were made for bicycling.

We have been bicycling regularly (though nothing major) throughout the summer. But with the advent of High School, the only time available is on the weekends.

It’s too hot after the sun comes up. And after school is iffy because of common Florida thunderstorms.

So the freshman gets up early on the weekends.
