How To Feel Young Again

It’s inevitable, isn’t it? No stopping it, is there? Not a single person is immune from it.

The aging process.

The more we read and the longer we live, the observations remain conclusive – feeling young comes down to the basics.

How often do you struggle with things that ought to be pretty simple?

And when it comes to your health, what and how do you stay motivated?

Running is how I stay active. But running is really just the tip of the iceberg.

Running goals, ultimately, are simply a carrot.

The Second Month

Same thing, kept adding an additional mailbox each week, so after two months, it was a very slow jog for 800 meters.

The third month I began adding an additional 400 meters (quarter mile) to each week. Meaning theĀ third month looked like this:

  1. First week = 1,200 meters
  2. Second week -= 1,600 meters (1 mile)
  3. Third week = 2,000 meters
  4. Fourth week = 2,400 meters (1.5 miles)

It took ten weeks to reach 1,600 meters, a mile. A VERY slow mile.

Who’s got the patience to wait 2.5 months before they can finish one mile?
