Where does one get energetic from?

Retirement card

 

(photo: Card from colleague…Fernando used an acronym… how does one earn the label, energetic?)

Something like 66% of the American people didn’t vote on November 4 (two days ago). Two-thirds couldn’t make it work.

The number is even higher for the number of people who do not lead active lifestyles – regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest.

Why?

Because we are distracted, entertained, and medicated with busy-ness and apathy.

He who does not move does not notice his own chains.
-Rosa Luxenburg

Figuring this out is only one person’s responsibility.

We know this.

Triage form

 

(photo: Yesterday at 3:12pm the recommendation was to not wait until the next day to be seen by a Doctor.)

No Doctor was available on short notice late on Friday afternoon.

Sure, the tingling began shortly after the first cup of coffee yesterday. So there was no panic. Just work through it like previous days. Wrote five posts like normal. Ran five miles, like normal.

The left arm tingling didn’t go away – like it normally did – during the past week.

Besides, there’s lots to do with only eight days until retirement from Disney.

By late afternoon, the first triage was complete at Disney’s Center for Living Well.

Health is wealth – scary when we feel like there’s been a break in and it’s been stolen.

Wondering if they have any idea

Road ID

Three friends on a trip, all three are calling themselves runners.

One has been running for several years and has completed five marathons. Another who is potentially going to ‘become a runner’ for the first time in 50 years.

And then there’s the third person who has been running weekly since April Fool’s Day 1999. He doesn’t talk about running. Most of his t-shirts and jackets are from the USATF store.

This outer wear speaks to him. It says, ‘Team USA is good and decent and motivating”.

And there’s the insight. Do you speak to others about your running wellness or do you speak to yourself?

A vicious, glorious circle

If you can find meaning in the kind of effort it takes to never get bored with the personal health basics, you will find meaning in another absurd pastime… life.

Success in one enhances success in the other.

A vicious, glorious circle.

Thank goodness.

Humbled by the physical aging process

Cemetary

 

(photo: No one here ever said they wished they hadn’t spent so much time fussing over exercise, diet and rest)

Humbled by the physical aging process.

There will come a day when we will regret not exercising, not eating well, and not managing our sleep cycle.

The illiterate of the world are those who know what should be done but look the other way.
