The closer to death, body

berries, nuts, avocado, cheese
Much of our focus and discipline is invisible to others. But it is never invisible to yourself.

The closer to you get to death, the less you care what others think about the way you stayed, or didn’t stay, healthy.

Why?

Because you’ll be dead soon and nothing will matter.

It doesn’t matter

Run, bike, swim, dance, walk, stretch, gym, weights, strength, yoga, roll – it doesn’t matter, unless it matters to you.

Physical gymnastics

news article on an iPhone
Super limited availability, 120 vehicles per day.

To me physical gymnastics means we use all the gymnast’s traits to “perfect” our cardio, strength, core, flexibility, sleep, nutrition, and motivation.

Our physical vibrancy is counting on us to proactively prevent or mitigate disease, injury, and illness as we age. And, to enjoy vibrantly active, healthy daily living.

Remembering why i move

senior olympian
Alfred is 100 years old in this 2009 photo. He competed at the 2009 Masters Track & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland. So did i, at half Alfred’s age. Perhaps i will enjoy another opportunity some day.

Remembering why i move.

Here’s why?

An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Pain is a neighbor

Fun is finding an angle to create a sun reflection on the pin.

Pain is a neighbor.

Pain is back.

Not in either foot though.

Pain in the lower left calf (again).

Debilitating pain.

Excruciating pain.

Pain that will likely be a permanent part of life, for the rest of my life.

Grateful that walking is doable.

As we head into Summer 2022 (yes, it’s January 2023 as this publishes), the excitement for mountain hiking is fun to anticipate. Even after all these years, the thrill is still there.
