Three things running can teach us about writing

Huge rut on Florida dirt road
Out running, spotted a huge rut the driver never saw coming

 

Three things running can teach us about writing:

  1. We do it because we know, undeniably, it helps us
  2. Not everyday is going to be a top performance
  3. While others criticize our art, we wake up, shut up, put up

It matters little to walk somewhere to preach, if not the whole walk is the preaching.

PS. Wonder if the driver plowed through the rut he created, or needed help getting unstuck.

 

Do you give the middle finger where you come from?

I’m from York County, Pennsylvania. Which seems insignificant, except that our Mid Life Celebration Guest blogger Lorie Sheffer has a direct connection to Amanda Weaver (in the video), and I have a direct connection with Lorie.

And yesterday was our Son’s 7th colonoscopy. He turned 13 three days prior. Do the math.

Amanda was a recent college graduate, a healthy, active varsity basketball player.

And then she gave colon cancer the finger. Big time.

Health is wealth. We know this, but we are so dang busy attending to life’s fast pace that we put things off.

But I hate running

How difficult is it to be a swimmer?

 

But I hate running…

USA Track & Field (USATF) is the National Governing Body for track & field, long-distance running and race walking in the United States. USATF encompasses the world’s oldest organized sports, the World’s #1 Track & Field Team, the most-watched events at the Olympics, the #1 high school and junior high school participatory sport, and more than 30 million adult runners in the United States: www.usatf.org.

Personally, I think running is genius. Do the math. Anywhere. Anytime. Alone or in groups. Fast or slow. Long or short.

As children, we couldn’t help ourselves.

Conformity put an end to that though, didn’t it?

Conformity says, not today, I’m too busy, tired, distracted.
