Honor the temple housing everything keeping you alive. Karma will pay you remarkable dividends.

Move ambitiously

Trust me when i say ‘health is wealth’. Invest early and forever.

You will never regret being intentional with your movement, your nutrition, and your rest. You will never regret starting early and doing it forever.

mountain — Do i really need to summit Mt Siyeh? It’s one of six Glacier summits higher than 10,000 feet. Over one-million acres, only six. Have hiked by it a couple dozen times. Have even done reconnaisance the past three years. Have dreamed of standing on the summit during those three years.

About a month from flying to Glacier for Summer 2023.

Cognizant this won’t publish until deep into Winter 2024.

Aware that finishing 15 consecutive years is on the horizon.

At peace with never trying to set a world record.

Never dreamed i’d make it 100 consecutive days writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

So impossible.

Yet here we are, well into year 14, turning into year 15.

Which begs a question, “How much is enough?”

Walk reprise

Apple Watch fitness app — 7 miles before 930am. Then another four miles doing yard work.

Note to self, you can do more stretching than you are currently doing. And, you don’t seem to have a good, logical reason for slacking.

Note: Stretching happens at least five days a week. It is minimal, which is better than no stretching. More stretching, like you’ve consistently done for the past 25 years, is where you ought to return to.

The physical value of one day

Disney Parking receipt — Time-stamping date. Swan Reserve is home to Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf.

Orange golf ball next to hole — Almost a hole-in-one.

Circle of adults at night — Two foursomes. After 18 holes, Jody’s team beat us by one stroke, 204 to 203. Had i made that hole in one it would’ve been a tie.

Have never considered Miniature Golf as exercise. After last night’s 18 holes, i recall why. It’s passive.

But the eight miles from yesterday’s walk/run feel like a giant deposit. Plus today’s six mile walk and two hours of yard work also feel significant compared to mini-golf.

For some, mini-golf is exercise.

As a high-achiever, hope it’s never me.
