Breaking Dawn or breaking down yesterday’s post?

Breaking Dawn or breaking down yesterday’s post?:

1. Impossible goal = earning Lane 8 (the worst lane for the slowest runner) in the 400 meters (at the World Championships)

2. Ongoing, compelling short term goal(s) = next week’s 12th annual Windermere Run Among the Lakes 5k (my very 1st 5k ever in 2003)

3. Turning negatives into positives = cranked out a 5:56 mile yesterday, even with a very strong headwind.

Motivation is like a fire.

What if we acted like we know how to add fuel to it. All the time.

What would happen?

If not us, who?

If not now, when?

The conviction for wellness inherently leaves room for flexibility. Rather than blog this morning, running 20 minutes took priority.

When anticipated long days get even longer, something has to give.

The more specific the conviction or claim, the more difficult it becomes.

Insight: Don’t make too many bold claims.
