Everybody wants to

Everybody wants to to be healthy.

Everyone understands the foundational knowledge and the popular theories.

Yet somehow, other things crush all attempts to make it their reality.

Theory is a better drug than doing the reps.

Faced with this unfortunate reality check, we do what the rest of the herd does. We resort to the herd’s big three: entertainment, distraction, medication.

Small Town, USA

This is a screen shot to explain what you might see when this publishes April 14, 2024. Chances are you’re seeing the video below saying “video unavailable”. However, as i write this Sept 5, 2023, clicking on the link “watch on You Tube works. Try that.

i was born and raised one mile outside a small town.

Orlando is our mailing address, but we are less than one mile from Walt Disney World.

We live just a little closer than i lived from Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.

Think about what that can mean to identifying your home town roots.

King of the hill?

Two people on a dirt pile
It was so hot. We all sweated while doing next to nothing. The sun is almost behind our house, which then affords shade.

King of the hill?

Yesterday, yes!

Playing in dirt is cool.

Every kid knows this.

Most adults will die without ever doing it again.

Another loss of trust

As a five-decade athlete the number of miles and reps is staggering. Never thought about it until the recurring foot injuries forced me to .think .differently

In a way, trust in what you could do 10, 20, 30+ years ago legitimately becomes iffy.

i cannot trust several groups of ligaments, tendons and muscles to be there for me like the trusted friends they’ve been over the decades.

This is a cool revelation because it is a put up or shut up crossroads.

Have fun.

Get healthy.

Stay healthy.
