It hasn’t been seven years, but it’s not far off

Literally every Sunday we commit 12pm – 6pm for the YuGiOh tournaments.

If you’re into body building, great. It’s important to remember that most people at the gym aren’t there to “bulk up”. They are there to get and stay healthy.

What would happen if we went to the gym consistency for five or six years?

Similarly, i’ve watched a 10-year old, who got his butt kicked every Sunday for a few years, finally start to win now and then. He has become remarkably better in the five-plus years we’ve been going to Coliseum of Comics.

One mailbox a day update after six weeks

After six weeks, this is our current daily run distance.

 

We began on Halloween 2015, six weeks ago. Run one mailbox a day for a week. Each week, add another mailbox (100 meters).

We are only at five mailboxes because in week two, we kept the distance at one mailbox (100 meters).

It’s interesting to watch how two, three, and four mailboxes no longer seem like a big deal. Each time we add a mailbox, we are running farther than he’s ever run in his life. Each new distance becomes a big deal – literally groundbreaking.

And then it becomes no big deal in a week or two.

Slow and steady isn’t a theory

Slow and steady isn’t a theory.

We just finished week six of becoming a runner. Our daily mailbox total is five, so far. Next week we will run six mailboxes each day.

We forgot yesterday

We forgot yesterday. No, we did’t forget it was Thanksgiving. We forgot to run “three mailboxes.” When things like this happen, forgive yourself and know that one day isn’t going to ruin things.

It doesn’t seem like much until you realize it is

Mailboxes are about 100 meters apart where we live.

 

Three mailboxes a day (300 meters) – seems like such a short distance until you compare it to sitting on a couch.
