Lean In is a best selling book from Cheryl Sandberg.

Lean (just lean, no in) is also a remarkable concept for wellness.

Observe nature.

Stunningly lean.

Survival depends on it, except for the hippo, elephant, and whale.

Lost three pounds in the four day trip to Fort Collins.

Didn’t try to.

Diggin’ 154 though.

The payoff for not quitting is progress.

Where are the good, reliable excuses when you need them?

When was the last time we found it extraordinarily difficult to find a decent, quick, reliable excuse to not exercise?

Like there was no excuse within a mile of us.

When was that time?

Hopefully it was yesterday for you.

It certainly was at Colorado State University.

Life is good.

The older we get, the more difficult it is to break a boundary or limit

Allen's Creamery in Windermere, FL

The older we get, the more difficult it is to break a boundary or limit. Why? Because we’ve been there, done that.

We’ve tested our limits and we think we know them well.

Remember when we were 13?

Nearly every new thing was an opportunity to push our limits.

Riding 12.6 miles round trip was pathetic compared to the 170-mile Cross Florida Ride (completed in ’85 and again in ’86) done in one day.

But for a 13-year old, it was his biggest athletic moment.

It was cool to witness.

Be well today.

The only time you should ever hate running

data is everywhere
What does the data show about the pros and cons of running?

 

A friend said he was thinking about running. As in becoming a ‘runner’.

He’s never been a runner. He’s mid to late 40’s.

People who aren’t runners generally hate running.

Why hate running?

Told him the only time you should ever hate running is when you are doing too much of it.
