He said, “I worry about you. You should wear a colored shirt or reflective vest when you run. It’s hard for drivers to see you in a white shirt.”

Intimately aware of the desire to not go to the gym

 

The great Summer of 2013 in our body? Five pulse-check questions:

  3. What do we need to do?
  4. Why aren’t we doing more of that?
  5. Are Summers more fun when we can move?

And yesterday ran a 5:52 mile. In practice. Alone. Headwind.

Insight: Have no remorse in telling excuses to kiss our butt.

Let us learn that not quitting is it’s own reward

 

Twice in 10 days doesn’t sound extraordinary. Should it? Exercising twice in 10 days almost seems poor.

Setting a personal record in a core exercise and then repeating it 10 days later is extraordinary.

Not quitting rewards us when we least expect it.

Rewards are not the goal.

Not quitting is the goal.

And not quitting is it’s own reward.
