Skipping is ok once in awhile

Before trashing this yesterday, it reminded me how little it takes to dress up “par for the course”. Added the thin box outline and the smile.

 

Skipping is ok once in awhile.

Not recommended when training is in season.

But otherwise, listen to your body.

My ill and aching body said, “Take a break.”

It felt good to listen and act without stress.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Mixing it up at the gym

relaxing in Orlando pool
A cold front is arriving today, so i enjoyed the warm water two days ago, knowing the water will cool dramatically.

 

Mixing it up at the gym.

Two weeks ago, i made a simple decision to mix up my workouts.

To make it easy (at first) i am not doing new exercises, but i am playing around with the weight and repetitions.

Big picture – heavier weights, fewer reps, alternating with some days doing the tried and true routine.

Can already feel an increase in strength.

This is motivating in a way the “stale” routine no longer delivers on.

50% is sometimes acceptable…

Felt like going longer, but out of time.

 

Grateful to get 40 minutes to run. Didn’t make time for a gym workout. Hotel gyms are usually inadequate if you aren’t doing cardio (and i wasn’t). So, 50% is sometimes acceptable…

But when it comes to leadership, 100% is the only acceptable standard.

What is the world’s most popular excuse?

All told, yesterday’s exercise lasted 65 minutes.

 

What is the world’s most popular excuse?

But i don’t have time.

If you can afford it, invest in better

New Balance 880
For posterity. Purchased yesterday at Track Shack.

 

If you can afford it, invest in better. We upgraded his sketchers “running shoes” to New Balance.

If you can afford to break in your running shoes by walking in them for one month do it. To begin running in them the day after purchasing is something we can’t afford to do.
