How Much Is Enough?

Less is better than more

Apple Watch fitness app — Walked 14 miles yesterday and to give my feet a rest i chose to bicycle this morning. As i write this at lunchtime today, i’ve walked 3 miles in the yard doing yardwork. Now it’s time to get ready to celebrate Independence Day.

Less is better than more.

Why?

How?

Less excuses is better than more excuses.

Less complaining is better than more complaining.

Paradoxically, more movement is better than less movement.

More sleep is better than less sleep.

More nutrition is better than less nutrition.

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

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.
