How long will i avoid what i love to do?

Screen shot from the Cartoon, Uncle Grandpa, which i watched on a recent flight using my iPhone.

 

How long i avoid running will be interesting to watch unfold.

Why?

Because i have no idea where this evil plan “break from running” will lead.

Meanwhile, i will embrace this morning’s 25-mile round trip bicycle ride to Gold’s Gym.

Had my paradigm destroyed yesterday

Winter Garden Florida
Biked 24 miles round trip to drop off some paperwork. Normal paradigm is to drive that distance for an errand.

 

Had my paradigm destroyed yesterday.

Up until yesterday, i thought of the gym as strength exercises and core exercises.

Charles, a personal trainer about my age, observed a few of the things i was doing and this ultimately ended with me getting schooled.

What if every exercise is a core exercise?

It should be.

And thanks to Charles, i’m ready to .think .differently about core.

Stay healthy, have fun

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday’s slow run included two splits that were virtually pain free,

 

An 8:16 mile four and a 6:51 mile six are quite ordinary when held against the past year’s running. But with the recent resurfacing of right calf pain, these times become something to really feel good about. Find a million ways to stay motivated.

Try to win more than you lose

Florida State HS Basketball state finals
Seconds before tip off yesterday.

 

Try to win more than you lose. No gym workout yesterday. Had hoped yesterday’s “rest day” could have substituted for a make-up gym workout day.

No go.

Too much to do, too little time.

i did, however, catch a nice nap.

Rest trumped activity.

Sometimes our gifts are disguised as “failure”.

Failure is a great teacher

Service process failure
i love Walgreens. Last night reinforced how challenging it is to be excellent 100% of the time. Notice the two red signs in the bottom corners.

 

Failure is a great teacher.

Taking risks is a predictable path to failure.

If you want a great teacher, become friends with taking risks (and failure).
