Couldn’t muster the motivation to run yesterday.
Needed to.
Wanted to.
Crystal clear on the benefits.
Clear on the consequences of not exercising.
Just. Couldn’t. Do. It.
This too shall pass.

Especially when we don’t feel like it
(photo: screen shot of the alternating walk and run times… Lap 1 was a 17-minute walk)
Life has a funny way of delivering on common sense if we allow it. Especially when we don’t feel like allowing it. Mostly because we think today is going to be the exception.
Felt the need to run but really didn’t feel like running. So it began as a walk.
After a mile or so, decided to run – it was only for three minutes. Just wasn’t feeling it.
Turned off the coastal road and hit the beach and had a strong headwind.
Eureka!
Nearly 20 minutes of running later, a break with a nine-minute walk. Followed by eight more minutes of jogging.
An hour after ‘not feeling like running’, felt refreshed and alive.
Conscious cleared.

Balance. Energy. Priorities. Our purpose.
Should be heading out the (hotel room) door in five minutes if there’s going to be a run this morning.
To be honest, there are still many things that can be done before that.
Still have 90 minutes before needing to make a three minute walk to ‘the office’.
Everyday our life is about making choices.
Balance. Energy. Priorities. Our purpose.
Will be back tonight to write the three remaining posts.

Why milestones help us
Why do milestones help us?
Why be intentional enough to pick a special day versus any day?
Because what we are embarking on is something that will be with us for the rest on our lives.
Right?
The other thing begun in April was running.
But that goes back to 2000.
April 15, tax day, to be exact.
And in 2000 there was not as powerful a connection to storytelling as there was in 2009.

Tomorrow is our physical health’s enemy
What holds our health back from being completely and incredibly well is the notion that we can work harder on it tomorrow.
