The difference between exercise strategy and exercise tactics

Middle school classroom
Kids run everywhere, even in a classroom.

 

Remember how as kids how we would run versus walk, even across a classroom?

What do you look forward to on a daily basis?

Many think runners absolutely love to run. Yes, and…

Yes, and they do not feel like this everyday, nor are they exempt from all the time pressures everyone faces.

Finding our purpose for staying healthy is the foundational (intentional) strategy. The actual activity we choose is the tactic.

Tactics change if and when necessary. Strategy is timeless.

The regret from never knowing is insidiously haunting.

The regret from never knowing is insidiously haunting.

The roundtrip walk from the car to lunch was 2.5 miles. Walking past this group of fun loving young men we spotted the red letters on the back of their tee-shirts spelling, p-a-r-t-y.

Creative. Fun.

Shared with the 14-year old lunch companion how much fun it is to put on your jeans and they fit perfectly, maybe even a tad loose.

Decent chance all of these men will regret not knowing this joy as they age.

An unplanned epic run

Running near Orlando homeless
She “lives” on the sidewalk in an affluent part of town. See center left on sidewalk.

 

Everything is connected. Visibly. Invisibly.

Whether we stop to think about it or not.

Four miles into yesterday’s run, this was the second photo taken. A “rear-view mirror” image so to speak.

Have bought her a meal before, when she “lived” by the gas station.

Meanwhile, the run became epic. Longest in 30 years.

What is your health mantra?

(photo: Yesterday’s five miler included an 800-meter fast pace. Two of those back to back and you have a six-minte mile.)

What is your health mantra?

Stay healthy, have fun.

Simple? Sure.

Easy? Um, that would be a “no”.

So easy to push ourselves before we are ready. This is how we get injured.

Injuries provide a great excuse to quit.
