Yesterday a friend said I was probably the only person who thinks running and sweating is fun. It was their response after reading a conference agenda that started the day with an optional “fun run”, in the Florida heat.
Sitting here writing this second of five blogs before I go for a five-mile run (yes, in the sweaty Florida heat), the fun won’t come soon enough. Partly because this is my “Monday”, meaning the past two days have been active rest days.
How can you become motivated to be focused and disciplined to feel the same way?
Man, wish I had an answer for you. Part of the root cause of my joy is the feeling I get when my clothes fit comfortably. When I can be active and not feel “old”. When I enjoy an ice cream cone without an ounce of guilt, like yesterday.
Like the thoughts you think are so far from status quo that you just might be the only one who thinks like that?
Waiting to board the Allegiant Airlines flight to Allentown, Pennsylvania yesterday and then sitting in the St Paul’s Catholic Church this morning, it was unavoidable.
Only two people in each group of about 150.
Two.
Two that seemed as if they had some sort of focus on proactively managing their health.
What does it take to go the distance, and why do only two look like they want to?
