We wouldn’t miss our medication

Universal Studios 2016 construction — Ran through Universal Studios after meeting Lee Cockerell at Starbucks.

We wouldn’t miss our medication, probably because it’s easy to swallow a pill.

Not until we see exercise as our (preventative) medication will we have the same sense of obligation.

A run and a gym visit.

The Doc has prescribed the strongest dose allowed by the FDA.

Who wants to?

Map My Run screen shot — Yesterday’s New Year’s Day run in 36 degree temps, plus wind chill.

College Track — Two Colleges near the Nursing home.

Nursing home shared resident room. — Shared Nursing home room. The TV remotes are one of their most important tools.

Nursing Home room — The emotions and thoughts from sitting here run from joy to sadness, from gratitude to confusion.

Did i want to run in 36 degree weather yesterday?

Could i have spent those 90 minutes in a more comfortable situation?

Who wants to watch TV all day, everyday?

Being around people 20 to 40 years older than you – if you pay close attention and aren’t medicated, distracted, or entertained – you become keenly aware that vibrant health is something to fight like hell for.

Life is fair

Bird on a wire — Less than half a mile into yesterday’s run to Disney.

Life is fair.

Many believe life is unfair.

The fairness stems from the fact that it’s ~~brutally~~ unfair to everyone.

Just minutes into yesterday’s run to Magic Kingdom, the reality of this photo stopped me.

The small bird (Mockingbird) on the left down wire (barely noticeable) and the large bird on the right (Hawk) are at a standoff.

The Hawk wants what’s in the Mockingbird’s nest. The ridiculously smaller and weaker Mockingbird has but one choice and that is to muster the strength to defend it’s nest with it’s life.

The odds are stacked against us that we might dedicate a lifetime to doing the hard, tedious work required to exercise regularly, consume a healthy diet, and get adequate rest.

Facebook body

Disney Parks Blog update on Captain EO closing in two weeks. We were going to go after lunch.

Facebook body, aka as Facebook health.

How many social media reps do we get in each day? One rep for each time we check FB.

How is our social media blood pressure? How do we feel as we try to keep up? How do we feel if no one likes or comments on something of ours? How do we feel when someone says something we oppose, dislike, despise, even hate?

How do we feel when we get friend requests from someone we barely know?

How do we feel when someone we send a friend request to never accepts?

How do we feel on a busy day when we get unimportant notifications from a comment thread?

How do we feel (fill in the blank, because we could go on and on) ________?
