Experimenting With Your Health?

Old & New Pair of Night Splints
Old & New Pair of Night Splints

Do you try creative things to get and stay healthy? In addition to finding things to do, you can also work on things to not do. Would you describe yourself as someone who’ll do whatever it takes?

It’s challenging to find the right balance, and it often seems that once we do find a nice balance, some life event will happen and upset the balance.

There are also times when we get things placed before us that make things easier. I’ve had a few of those recently, due mainly through experimenting with my health. Will share a few tomorrow.

2011 World Championships?

2009 Worlds in Finland
2009 Worlds in Finland

How lofty are your health goals? How dedicated are you to achieving them? Are you committed for your lifetime?

After last years 43rd place at the Master’s Track & Field World Championships, where 7 of the 8 Americans representing the US made it to the semi-finals (I was the one that didn’t), it was very exciting to hear that the 2011 Worlds (held bi-annually) would take place on American soil.

But last week, I actually told someone that perhaps it’s too much effort, even though I’m much healthier and stronger than 2009.

Obnoxious?

You Go On Ahead Without Me
You Go On Ahead Without Me

People who work hard have a way of making things look easy. This makes people who don’t work hard, well, jealous.

Life is not fair. But life does have natural laws, like, survival of the fittest, gravity, etc. It is what it is, and has been for ions. I hadn’t run very much in the past 10 days, due to a heavy workload. So yesterday morning…

With the goal of a sub-six minute mile, on a brisk Central Florida morning, I started off. First mile is always an easy warm-up, second mile the “time-trial”. First 800 in 3:03. Perfect. Crossed the line in 5:59.

Obnoxious? Yes. 🙂
