First business trip as a non-runner

First business trip as a non-runner.

Two things: Still a runner but on an indefinite break and i’ve temporarily replaced running with bicycling.

What to do then when far away from home and far away from a bike?

Walk.

For an hour or more.

Through the city.

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.

Jump start your wellness attitude the moment you open your eyes

Say this repeatedly to yourself upon awaking to jump start your wellness attitude the moment you open your eyes,

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

Say it to yourself in your thoughts, or, if you are alone, say it out loud.

Repetition is the mother of all learning.

#Hope

#Hope

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic.

Action is hope’s super power.

Taking the risk of an unknown path

Frost is rare near Walt Disney World.

 

Map My Run screen shot
yesterday’s run included taking the risk of an unknown path.

 

Waited until noon for the January chill to leave the air. It was noon when i took off in a tee shirt. It was 38 when i crawled out of bed seven hours earlier.

i found the shortcut i had always wondered about. It required, as i knew it would, off-road running to accomplish. The GPS only shows paved roads, not swamp.

Swamps are everywhere.

Swamps provide one option.

Turn around and go back.

With the gift of an open schedule, i ran, not worried about turning around.

This short cut to Disney University creates another running option.

Options are the cornerstone for saying motivated.

He got another taste of 12 hours door to door

Disney Speakers

He got another taste of 12 hours door to door yesterday as we left our Orlando home at 7am and unlocked our Disney’s Grand Californian Resort room door at 7pm (EST).

Casually, as we rode the Disneyland Express motor coach, i painted the picture of how it is for professional speakers and the glamour of traveling for a living:

After a 12-hour travel day, you still need to get dinner and do an AV check before going to bed.

So where does exercise fall into the agenda?

Plan your rest (inactive) days to coincide with travel days. Or, simply take an extra rest day that week.
