Are you finding small wins with the relentless temptation to quit?

Golf is a decent activity, the challenge is the ability to do it frequently enough to matter.

 

My Son and i are no longer jogging together because this semester he is taking Personal Fitness which is five days a week and he is also a member of the Track & Field team. Coach Williams has them practice six days a week.

The fact that our Son hasn’t asked for permission to quit is remarkable.

Driving him to practice this Saturday morning felt surreal.

The long way is the short cut.

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.

He’s lost 49 pounds in three months

Minutes before our neighborly conversation, i had just finished this run/walk.

 

He’s lost 49 pounds in three months. He said he has so much more energy now. He’s been retired for a few years and has (theoretically) much more discretionary time to rearrange focus on his priorities.

Perhaps sounding self-righteous a second time, i said, “Reaching a big goal is the first step. Maintaining that goal for a lifetime is the real challenge.”

Everyone knows this even if it’s not on their radar.

Life and exercise, on the road again

Yesterday’s short drive to Orange County Convention Center astonished me when i tried to comprehend how diligently i exercised even with the massive travel schedule for the final 10 years at Disney Institute (15 years at DI, 30 years total at WDW).

Didn’t see any early morning (business traveler) runners yesterday.
