Feet up, relaxing at Epcot yesterday.

 

Chasing an impossible dream is a healthy alternative to not chasing one. In the spirit of dreaming, excellence, fun, and joy, what would happen if we upped the quality of our wellness goals while lowering the quantity?

Only exercising three times a week.

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are duel workout days. Running and gym. The effort is deliberate and intense. The frequency is low.

This may change everything.

Nationals are in 100 days.

What we should tweak and never tire of tweaking

Starbucks wall
The original Starbucks was one little store in Seattle back in the 1970’s.

 

Tweak your plan and never tire of tweaking your plan. Saturdays and Sundays, since Halloween 2014, have been strictly active rest days. No running. No gym.

First time in 15 years that’s happened.

Impossible is nothing.

Looking forward to today’s Monday morning run.

At what point do we recognize that we may be pushing ourselves too hard or too far?

Slight pain in lower inside right knee. First time for a pain like this. So yes, there is a delicate balance between the just enough and too much. Mistakes help define this line.
