You owe it to yourself because its your responsibility

quote about quitting
From Facebook this morning.

 

Fact: Life is generally overwhelming.

Not many people know my book’s hidden message is about finding ways to overcome the never-ending temptations to quit (at anything, not just running).

These three may be the next generation motivators

Florida Sand Hill Cranes
They were coming in and i was running out.

 

Florida Sand Hill Cranes
Yesterday in the neighborhood.

 

Farm animals near Disney University
It’s rare to see them all in this location.

 

Donkeys near Disney University
Near Disney University, about halfway through an easy five-miler.

 

These three may be the next generation motivators:

  1. Shot  Put
  2. Discus
  3. Javelin

Running is not part of the formula for these events.

Yesterday’s slow and short five-miler had the under-pinnings of a nagging right calf issue that may make it impractical to focus on running competitively this year.

Find a million ways isn’t theory

Body fat test
Yesterday the Golds Gym staff was offering free body fat tests.

 

And so it goes.

Was optimistic the calf pain would be nonexistent.

Two slow miles later, pain was enough to make walking the only intelligent choice.

What to do?

Rode a bicycle 25 miles round trip to the gym and back.

PS. Yes, well aware i’m about eight pounds over a healthier weight.

Running trumps the gym

Balance and wellness keynote speakers
This blog is about our body, the temple housing everything keeping us alive.

 

Running trumps the gym. When my schedule, or energy, allows for only one, i default to running. Probably because i don’t have to drive a car to accomplish it.

Hopefully, a gym workout will fit into today’s normal “rest” mode.

Even as i struggle to find time and motivation

One rotten apple in a bunch
The more expensive organic apples are not immune from rottenness.

 

Even as i struggle to find time and motivation, and there are more days than i care to admit, the most wonderful blessing is that i continue to stay with it.
