Back to 100 feet above sea level.

Last week in Denver it was nice to simply run slow and enjoy the new scenery.

No intervals. No gym. No pushing the pace or heart rate.

But back behind Disney’s Magic Kingdom, all that changes in an hour.

Gonna start exercising in retirement

The flip side of the Disney postcard.

 

Gonna start exercising in retirement.

Sounds familiar. And predictable.

Probably not gonna happen. Sure hope it does though.

Crazy thing is we think retirement will change things.

Challenged a retired Disney colleague to drive the speed limit. All the time.

At Gold’s Gym recently, Fred said this, “It’s funny how your pace of life slows down when you aren’t hurrying (speeding) to the next thing.

Why do retirees still drive fast?

Could write a book.

Wait, already did.

Keep it simple means many things to many people. Mostly it’s an auto-response wish list item we summon when we are stressed.

And the auto-reply is always the same, “Next year”.

This year is last year’s “next year”.

Merry Christmas 2014 from Lane 8.

Can you name that tune?

Stayed up late, working on a big project. Got up early to continue on it. Skipped a gym workout yesterday and a run this morning.

Let’s hope this isn’t just a ‘one-hit wonder’.

Big project? Whatcha got going on?

Chasing big dreams?

No, you are the ab man!

Gold's Gym Orlando
Leaving Gold’s Gym

 

Ab man is the name I gave him. Five years ago, new to Gold’s Gym, watching his stamina in doing ab work was astonishing.

Last night we were working on our core next to each other. Hey ab man I said. He said back, you’re the ab man.

He said he doesn’t do much core work anymore. He’s more focused on running.

And then it hit. He has passed the baton.
