Zen and the art of unhealthy maintenance

Zen and the art of unhealthy maintenance. Snack foods, comfort foods, fast food.

Epidemic.

And socially acceptable.

Snacks are acceptable. In moderation.

And that’s the catch isn’t it.

Be well.

The right motivation requires a serious will to succeed. Period.

Dropped six leaving nine to go, right? Fifteen pounds over my High School weight. Theoretically an optimum peak of physical health.

At 166, there are 15 pounds to lose.

For the past week, hovering at 159.

Running the 5k was easier without the extra six pounds.

Much easier.

In life, what do we do when we start out too strong, and feel like we can’t finish?

Same thing in a race. Back off some, regain our composure, then keep going.

Two mile combined split 13:47… the goal at this point was 14:15 (two miles at 7:15 and 7:00).

So I stopped and walked for half a minute.

What do we use to stay motivated?

Eyes always on the goal.

Breaking 22 minutes felt like victory, even though walking felt like failure.

Keep going.

Two thoughts about an experiment to do nothing in preparation for Saturday’s race:

Going into the 5k with four solid rest days. Doing nothing might make me stronger.

Anyone experimented with less is more?

Three important thoughts about a motivating comeback:

Ran a 5:56 mile two days ago.

Skipped running altogether yesterday, but hit gym (1st time in 7 days).

Ran 5:47 this morning.

Active rest next four days.

Run 5k on 5th day.

Coming back.
