Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The coolest thing you’ll never find in a wellness self help book is this:
When you refuse to quit, your greatest accomplishment is your journey. Your journey is the reward.
It’s Friday morning and the goal is to drive to Windermere (after writing today’s five posts) to run the upcoming Run Among the Lakes 5k course three times, for a nine-miler.
Who would have ever thought that the other two runs this week would be half-marathons?
No one. Ever.

What keeps you motivated is your responsibility to discover, manage, nurture, grow, exploit, and have fun with.
Since retiring four months ago, am only running three days a week, but for much longer distances. A fluke that just happened without any desire or intention. Have run the longest distances in 55 years. Runs of 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 and 7 miles. Anything less than 7 feels like cheating.
But yesterday was different. Only five miles. Three miles easy warm up, one mile time trial, one mile cool down.
Aimed for a six-minute mile. Came in at 6:04.
Very motivating.

We are so easily distracted, because distractions are less work.
Intentionally running only three days a week. Gym two or three days a week. Weekends reserved for active rest. Have had eight hours sleep for past eight days.
The walks to Magic Kingdom and Epcot added four-plus miles of casual walking. Getting a 14-year old ready for his middle-school trip to San Francisco. Also very intentional.
Being intentional changes your trajectory.

Everything is impossible until the first person does it.
To think we could be more fit at 55 than, well, almost anyone, is sick.
Impossible is, well, all in our head.
Being an example for what is possible seems legit.
