Does 9 extra minutes matter?

First run yesterday.
Second run yesterday.

Does 9 extra minutes matter?

Picture the typical 5am iPhone birds chirping wake up sound.

For the first time in a long time, i hit the snooze on my iPhone.

It’s Saturday and i wanted to experiment with how it felt.

Odds are high i’ll go the rest of the year (7 months) without hitting snooze.

Son, this is an extraordinary gift for being free from a chronic lack of sleep.

You feel better afterwards

Apple World Wide Developers Conference is in three days. Love the image….the image speaks to how i often feel when something great happens.

You feel better afterwards.

What?

After exercising, generally, you feel better afterwards.

Son, bank on this (99.1% of the time).

Stop Pre

Ran to and from the gym yesterday and took the shortest route due to an early airport departure.

Steve Prefontaine was the catalyst for the American “jogging movement” in the 1970’s.

He was literally unbeatable and held every American running record (indoors and outdoors) from 1,000 meters to the 5,000).

An opposing team created t-shirts that said, “Stop Pre”.

It didn’t work.

He was a rebel who also happened to be a runner. That’s a story for a Google search in your spare time.

RIP Steve: May 30, 1975 (car accident). He was 24.

Early to bed and early to rise

Yesterday’s first run.

Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. – Ben Franklin

Son, wisdom usually goes in one ear and out the other in our youth. You have the opportunity to be an exception to this rule because your parents raised you in their 40’s and 50’s.

29 mailboxes a day for a week

Assume 1,600 meters for a mile, or 16 mailboxes.

Began this week (yesterday, Monday, Memorial Day) running 29 mailboxes a day. We will repeat this today through Friday.

This is the start of our 40th week.

The math says for 11 weeks, we didn’t add a mailbox. The weeks we didn’t add, we just duplicated the previous week’s total mailbox’s.

Eleven “mailboxes” equal 1,100 meters – almost 3/4 of a mile.

Son, please bank on slow and steady winning the race.

While we may”only” be at 29 mailboxes for 40 weeks, we have been waking up early and hitting it for 40 continuous weeks.

The real metric is not distance, it’s hidden in the habit transformation.
