Just had this insight – the reason we are afraid to exercise regularly is because of the underlying and overwhelming notion that we have to do it every week for the rest of our lives.
Here is the deal on how it works – what it is like to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts every single day.
The clock is (always) ticking for all of us and there are constant, important things to be done. This is why some days the posts are particularly inspiring and others days not so much.
Sacrificed running yesterday for writing and book deadlines. Right now I’m hitting the ‘save this post button’ and going for a run. Car mechanic by 8:00am and it’s 30 minutes away. Will finish the other three posts later.

The pressure of a book deadline. The reality of having a teenager. Travel. Potential, looming war in Syria. Aging parents. Tragedy amongst friends.
Walked 50 minutes yesterday instead of running 30 minutes. Just did not feel like running (nor walking really). But I walked anyway. It was a decent compromise and I’ll take it.
