Category: What’s Our Obligation?

Worrying about our health is tougher than this

Sidewalk next to Tibet Butler Nature Preserve
i run 400 meters down, and walk back. Then i repeat this process 11 more times.

 

Doing 12 brisk 400 meter runs with only a four minute walk between each is tough.

Worrying about our health is tougher than actually doing the work called:

  • Regular exercise
  • Balanced nutrition
  • Adequate rest

The paradox of worry is that our effort is greater when we do nothing but worry.

Another way of saying the same thing is: Quitting doesn’t make it easier, quitting makes it harder.

Negative splits and the final mile the fastest.

 

Just get started, please.

Time, comparison, inability, lack of motivation, procrastination.

Screw those things.

Note: When i started running in 1999, 100 meters was all i could do. Yesterday however, mile 8 was the final (and fastest) mile if you subtract mile 9 as a cool down and mile 10 as a walk (additional cool down).

We’re all owners.

Like the cow above, sticking it’s neck out through the barbed wire fence, are we hungry for our own life?

Do we settle for status quo or is vibrancy our only acceptable standard?
