Humans learn to speed

  • Walking yesterday. Residential neighborhoods do not permit running a business. For example, an RV rental business. 
  • First meal of this caliber in six weeks. Enjoyed it from our back porch two days ago. 
Home October 2021.

We learn to speed from all the other speeders. Telling little white lies is also learned. 

The liar benefits.

The others likely suffer. 

Diluting personal, community, or organizational culture is immoral. 

The spouse abuser never gets a black eye or bruises. 

The insidious deterioration of safe, respectful, and friendly neighborhoods is immoral. 

Same with your health. Eat well. Move well. Rest well.

Which Goofy are you?

My attitude about health is simple. Don’t be a goofball.

Mountain lungs and legs

Social media screen shot
October 4’s six-hour, global Face Book shutdown brought out the folks who are sick of social media, particularly Face Book. Photo: LinkedIn update screen shot from 35k’. 

What if folks got sick of a sedentary lifestyle and committed to “pausing the sloth” and activated their “play” button?

In both cases, it’s a safe bet to know that old habits die hard. 

Neither pause will last. 

No crystal ball is needed. 

This is the great human challenge. 

To find the discipline to move, eat, and rest like life depended on it. 

Congrats on disciplining yourself to do the right (obvious) things for the right (obvious) reasons. Be a bright light for others. 

Ps. Looking forward to hiking at “sea level” in an hour. Will enjoy the mountain lungs and legs while they last.

23 Oberlin

50-second video:

This Summer, summited 8,200’ Oberlin five times the first week i arrived in July. First trip up was 100 minutes. 

Previous best time, without trying to make it feel like a race – just moving at a strong, steady clip – is 58 minutes, in 2020 (last year). 

Yesterday’s 50-minute ascent destroyed what i thought was the limit, 58 mins. 

Nope. 

Maybe after 22 previous ascents, time spent way-finding is close to zero.

Great song.

Glacier.

Already ready to go?

Yes and no.

Yes for family. No for hiking.
