What we accept by default becomes our standard.
This is true whether we believe it or not.
And truth doesn’t care what we believe.
Truth leaves it up to us to care.

Truth doesn’t care if we believe it
Category: Maybe It’s Impossible
Biggest physical wellness April Fool ever?
The foolish part of dreaming big is allowing the magnitude of impossibility to frighten us and justify our rational excuses to quit.
There should be no quitting a good and noble physical wellness goal. Quitting is the joke. And it’s not funny. At all.
One day our dream seems crushed, the next it feels like victory.
But only if we do not quit.
No foot pain during (or after) yesterday’s 10-miler to Magic Kingdom.
This is huge because defeat and frustration were really strong this time.

The coolest thing you’ll never find in a wellness self help book
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.

It’s your responsibility to cultivate and harvest motivation
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.
