Category: Looking For Creative Ideas?

Confirmed my Family has a busy Saturday morning

On the second flight home from San Antonio yesterday, i became nauseated about 15 minutes from landing.

So much so that i quickly looked through the seatback pocket for the sickness bag.

Prior to this, i planned to stop at the gym for a workout.

Once i had the bag opened on my lap, i was able to relax from the thought of vomiting on my lap or the floor (which made the urge worse).

While waiting 15 minutes to deplane, i felt better – but still not back to normal – so i skipped the gym.

And as soon as today’s posts are written, i’ll be doing a weekday routine today, Saturday.

Next up: a 40k round-trip bike and hour gym workout – three hours total.

Play the hand you’re dealt.

Looking forward to creative exercise solutions

Looking forward to creative exercise solutions today (Friday) and Monday.

We’ll be in Allentown by 10am.

Highs in the 50’s.

Morning temps near freezing.

Different from all other trips in the past is having a cross country runner as a running partner for the first time.

Look away

Write like you mean it either means it’s something you actually do, or it’s a theory for “someday”.

 

You will find your solution to staying active, if you are willing to look where you haven’t yet looked.

Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Sent a local executive an email yesterday (Saturday) with a sole purpose – to gently “push” him to reconsider his postponement of a two-day leadership engagement.

Waiting until the new year “when current workload should subside” would be better, right?

Just like the current work load was unexpected, this is likely to keep happening and January could get pushed back to Spring. And so it goes.

By the way i respect what he did.

But here’s the underlying life truth, there’s rarely a better time than now.

What about Family members, people we love and cherish, should we push them or do we hope that after decades of physical neglect they’ll magically find the time?

Compromise is the only option sometimes

This is harder than it looks, and i love it.

 

So the indefinite vacation from running lasted about two months, roughly until school let out around June 1. Since then, i became our son’s running partner. All Summer long we ran with the Windermere Runner’s Club two mornings a week at the high school. The other three days, we ran from home: not much running to speak of, and this is why i got back into running – it was easy running and our son needed the support, guidance, and encouragement.
