To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Steve Prefontaine

Today i walked five miles and “jogged” across the road intersections.

Perhaps i can quickly (since my body has rested the past 9 months) start running again like i was a year ago.

A year ago, May 2023, i was running (six-minute per mile pace) one or even two telephone poles at a time for a mile or more.

It felt like Heaven, considering i hadn’t been able to run, at all. Period. Not even at 15-minutes per mile pace.

Note: The difference between a 6-minute mile pace versus 15-minute mile pace is astronomical. The difference between trying to run, with severe pain, and running without pain is equally astronomical.

Be Somebody

Facebook post
After a half century, finally catching wind of this Pre quote.

No matter how hard you train, Somebody will train harder. No matter how hard you run, Somebody will run harder. No matter how hard you want it, Somebody will want it more, I am Somebody.

Steve Prefontaine

Whether fitness or all endeavors, insatiable desire is your key to persistence.

And like i said yesterday, passion fuels persistence.

Essentially then, desire fuels passion, fuels persistence, fuels incredible results.

Work(out) from anywhere

Outdoor deck
Lakeside patio deck or gym.
5-second video: Yesterday’s workout from anywhere snippet.

Save your best for now.

dad

There’s logic in saving your best for last.

The crescendo.

Perhaps it works well in some domains. Say a book, movie, or song.

But perhaps it’s not a mindset for life.

Why?

Fundamentally, we don’t know when our crescendo is relevant.

Books, movies, and songs are scripted. The writer gets to plan the crescendo’s timing, intensity, and duration.

Life doesn’t come with a script writer.

Or does it?

Context for the ‘iconic deck’.

My no-gym workout has served me since 2020-Covid.

dad

Meant to do today’s workout at the Hotel. Never happened.

Figured there’d be a chance to do it at Lake McDonald Lodge.

Wrong again.

Instead, it happened at Cabin 20’s iconic lakeside deck.
